You Never Did Anything Wrong will be hosted at the Hayward Gallery as part of the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary. The exhibition presents works by Nan Goldin from the past five decades, following her earlier full presentation of The Ballad of Sexual Dependency at Gagosian in early 2026 for the photobook’s 40th anniversary. Goldin is known for unflinching, raw photography that helped transform the medium. Her images document personal relationships, addiction, and queer communities, and they form an autobiography she describes as a record of her life that no one can revise. The show runs from 24 November 2026 to 7 March 2027.
"Following a presentation of The Ballad of Sexual Dependency in its entirety at Gagosian at the start of 2026, to coincide with the photobook's 40th anniversary, we're getting another big Nan Goldin exhibition this year. As part of the Southbank Centre's 75th anniversary, The Hayward Gallery is hosting You Never Did Anything Wrong, featuring works by the acclaimed American artist and activist from the past five decades."
"Known for her unflinching and raw style of photography, which helped transform the medium, Goldin has spent her career documenting personal relationships, addiction and queer communities. Her intimate images explore the complexity of life and have formed an autobiography she calls "a record of my life that no one can revise"."
"Speaking about the exhibition, Rachel Thomas, Roden Chief Curator, says: "While UK audiences may have seen glimpses of Nan's story, this major exhibition will offer a long overdue institutional-scale immersion into the world of a true revolutionary. The Hayward's show extends an invitation to experience work that is essential for understanding the interconnectedness of personal experience and political action, revealing the human condition in all of its beauty and fragility.""
