"Celebrated and revered by artists, the work of Peter Hujar remains something of a public secret. His photographs dealing with sex and eroticism, made between the years 1969 and 1986, have come to define a certain era in New York. Today, they are widely considered to be his finest and most radical work. Hujar's view of the human body is uninhibited and uncompromising. But his poignant explorations of sexuality and desire also project a universal humanity. Captured in deeply textured black-and-white, these photographs present a view of human relationships that encompasses both the tender and the taboo" (Publisher's blurb). "Looking at his photographs of nude men is the closest I ever came to experience what it is to inhabit male flesh" (Nan Goldin). An absolute "must-have" title for Peter Hujar collectors. This title is a great erotic art photography book. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online command as much as $1000. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. 37 plates. One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PETER HUJAR TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1881337375.
