Peter Hujar : speed of life.

"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 Wojnarowicz, 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."--Provided by publisher.
