Nan has saved lives with her work, both in terms of preserving the lives she has encountered and then literally with her activism and interventions in the opioid crisis. She's just this unbelievable figure to me, somebody who is a life-giving force. And this book is something that actually manages to encapsulate that.--Hillary Reid "New York Magazine: Strategist"

[Goldin's] pictures came out of the underground world they inhabited, partying, dressing up, posing, kissing, weeping, making love. Drink and drugs were familiar protagonists and there were few gender distinctions. She chronicled her own relationships in the same relentless way.--Liz Jobey "Financial Times"

Steidl presents an expanded edition of Nan Goldin's seminal publication The Other Side. The book is a love letter to the various drag queens and transgendered folk Goldin has encountered throughout the years, capturing their likeness in an intimate and loving manner.--David Saric "S Magazine"

Just as Goldin's best works derive their power from how intimately she has always connected art and her own life, her activism has been prompted by her own experience. Taken together, the nature of her art and the facts of her biography have had the remarkable ability to amplify the voices of those who don't have work in the permanent collections of the world's leading museums.--Fatema Ahmed "Apollo"

The Other Side chronicles Goldin's years of living with a group of drag queens in Boston in the 70s and New York in the 80s, as well as her 90s exploration of drag scenes across the globe. This new edition features portraits taken in the years since 1993 and a new introduction from Goldin, who in recent years has also become an activist.--Belle Hutton "AnOther"

The photos are intimate, as one familiar with Goldin would expect; her subjects are bathed in that signature Goldin's golden glow...They are different but not when Goldin catches them off-guard, in the moments of contemplation or applying make up. They are themselves.--Eugene Rabkin "StyleZeitgeist"

Goldin captures the glamour and the glory of her friends lives, revealing the passion and power it takes to become who one truly is in the world. In looking at these photographs, it's easy to feel Goldin's devotion and love, her inability to see them as other s reminder how powerful photography truly is.--Sara Rosen "Feature Shoot"

In 1993, the year after AIDS became the number one cause of death in the US for men ages twenty-five to forty-four, Nan Goldin published The Other Side, a photo book devoted to her friends "expressing gender euphoria."--David Velasco "Artforum"

There is a haunting element to these photos: The people they depict are playing with and claiming their identity in societies that often ostracized them, and, sometimes even denied them humanity. Still, as Goldin writes in the forward: "This book is about beauty. And about a love for my friends."--Samantha Andriano "T Magazine"

The expanded and updated version of The Other Side...comes at a time when increasing attention is deservedly focused on the representation and inclusion of alternative gender identities.--Mark Westall "FAD"

Nan Goldin's book of photos (which chronicles the lives of her drag-queen and transgender friends in the '70s, '80s, and '90s) goes even further into the other side by including the voices of her subjects amid her snapshots of them.-- "New York Magazine"

...gives us a glimpse of that vanished, charming, risky scene.--David O'Neill "Bookforum"

Goldin has lived among the drag community since the 1970s. Her book, The Other Side, is a testament to their glamour and defiance.--Emily Dinsdale "Dazed"

A tribute to trans beauty and gender fluidity...--Ashley Simpson "W Magazine"

Offering an expanded and updated version of Nan Goldin's superb work on the topic of gender and sexual orientation...it is well worth a read, particularly at a time when gender and transgender discourse is so pertinent.--Charlotte Stace "Daily Art Magazine"
