James King: Supermodel. 1995. Cibachrome print. 40,5 x 50,8 cm. Signed by the photographer in felt-tip pen on the verso.
Nan Goldin’s “James King: Supermodel” series offers an intimate and unvarnished portrayal of teenage model Jaime (James) King, who rose to prominence in the mid-1990s - a transitional period between the supermodel era and the emergence of the “heroin chic” aesthetic. At just sixteen, King navigated the complex and often toxic world of fashion, characterized by unattainable beauty standards, an obsession with youth, and the glamorization of drug use. Goldin’s candid photographs resist romanticizing this environment, instead highlighting the emotional toll and psychological complexities of growing up in a world where innocence is often sacrificed for fame and glamour. – Some light scuff marks, otherwise in excellent condition.
