Peter HujarPeter Hujar : Speed of Life

"Hujar's photographs monumentalize moments, beings, lifetimes, and subcultures that might otherwise have disappeared into time."

Joel Smith Peter Hujar (1934-1987), a prominent figure in downtown New York in the 1970s and '80s, is best known for his intimate, searching, and playful portraits of artists, writers, and performers, including Susan Sontag, William S. Burroughs, David Wonarowicz, and the masters of drag theater. This volume offers the first deeply researched look into Hujar's life and work, with three essays, 160 photographs, and previously unseen materials from the Peter Hujar Collection at the Morgan Library & Museum, New York.
