The Southbank Centre’s Hayward Gallery announces major exhibition by Nan Goldin

Today, the Hayward Gallery announces a major solo exhibition by acclaimed American artist and activist Nan Goldin: You Never Did Anything Wrong. Rounding off the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary year, the exhibition will run from 24 November 2026 – 7 March 2027 and marks Goldin’s first institutional exhibition in the UK since 2002. 

Over the past five decades, Nan Goldin has documented personal relationships, addiction and queer communities, forming an autobiography she calls “a record of my life that no one can revise”. Her unflinching images have transformed photography by closing the distance between the observer and the observed, capturing the rawness of the artist’s own life and that of her people. Comprising deeply intimate photographs and slideshows, her stories embrace the complexity of life, standing as universal tales of love and loss.
