A review of the exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art noted that Goldberg made reference to other artists and photographers; used photographs, videos, objects, and texts to convey meaning; and “let his viewers feel, in some corner of their psyches, the lure of abject lowliness, the siren call of pain.” Although the accompanying book received one mixed review shortly after publication, it was described as “a heartbreaking novel with pictures”, and in The Photobook: A History, Martin Parr and Gerry Badger praised it as “complex and thoughtful.”

A 1999 mixed media installation at the San Francisco Arts Commission gallery entitled “57/78/97” explored race relations in the United States, including the Little Rock Crisis of 1957, the 1978 Regents of the University of California v.
