PETER HUJAR CURATED BY ELTON JOHN (FRAENKEL GALLERY) (HB)

Through a selection of 50 photographs, the book presents a wide-ranging survey of Hujar's career. It includes works spanning nearly two decades and features portraits of Hujar's eclectic circle of friends, his landmark nudes, atmospheric landscapes, portraits of performers (Stevie Wonder, Peggy Lee and Edgar Winter) and a moving image of the artist with his mother. Elton John writes: “Hujar's humanity, depth and sensual insights aren't for everyone, and don't need to be, but once his pictures get into your bloodstream they are impossible to shake.”
