The artwork titled “Sharon W. the Christmas Tree, NYC,” created by artist Nan Goldin in 1990, belongs to the Contemporary and Feminist Art movements and is a photograph. This piece is emblematic of Goldin’s exploration of intimate and raw moments, capturing the essence of her subjects in unguarded states.
In the artwork, a person with short, curly hair, adorned in a black top and a necklace with a cross pendant, is shown in a contemplative pose. The individual appears in a domestic space, their arm extended to the right, perhaps adjusting something out of view. The lighting and stark background accentuate the somber and introspective mood, characteristic of Goldin’s evocative photographic style.
