Always an uncompromising and disruptive force on the American contemporary art scene, Goldin now uses her hard-won profile and respectability to attack the institutions that support her, the prestigious art galleries that accept endowments from the Sacklers, in effect permitting the family to launder their reputation by branding galleries. Poitras elegantly weaves a dual narrative, alternating details of Goldin’s early life and growth as an artist with the progress of her current campaign; the artist speaks candidly of her time as a sex worker, and her substance abuse which culminated with an addiction to OxyContin.
