Nan Goldin will present a major solo exhibition at London’s Hayward Gallery from 24 November 2026 to 7 March 2027. Titled 'Nan Goldin: You Never Did Anything Wrong', the show is announced as part of the Southbank Centre’s programming and is also tied to the gallery’s 75th anniversary, with a limited run of reduced-price opening tickets available for the first two weeks.

The Hayward describes Goldin as an acclaimed American artist and activist known for documenting personal relationships, addiction and queer subcultures. The exhibition is billed as a major solo show and will focus on her photographic work exploring personal and social issues. No further checklist of works or curatorial details has been provided in the source material.

Goldin’s practice has long been associated with intimate photography that moves between private lives and public conditions, and the Hayward’s framing points to that overlap. By naming addiction and queer subcultures alongside personal relationships, the gallery signals the territory Goldin has made central across her career, where portraits and scenes from lived experience become a record of broader social realities.

The exhibition also arrives during a year when the Hayward is marking its own anniversary. According to the announcement, the first two weeks of the run will feature tickets priced at £7.50, with only 750 tickets available for that period. The offer is specifically described as part of the 75th anniversary celebration.

The notice comes through the Southbank Centre’s wider communications, which list the Hayward Gallery among its venues and refer to the gallery’s current and upcoming exhibitions. That institutional context places Goldin’s presentation within a programme that also includes exhibitions and events elsewhere on the Southbank Centre site, but the source material does not indicate any connection between those parallel listings and Goldin’s show.

The announcement gives the exhibition’s title, dates and ticket offer, but no additional information about the layout, number of works or publication plans. What is confirmed is that 'Nan Goldin: You Never Did Anything Wrong' will run at the Hayward Gallery in London from 24 November 2026 to 7 March 2027, with the reduced opening-period tickets available in a strictly limited allocation.
