Descriptif du lot

This incredible vintage print was included in the first posthumous exhibition of Hujar’s work in 1990 by New York University’s Grey Art Gallery & Study Center. In a publication accompanying the exhibition, writer, and then executor of Hujar’s estate, Stephen Koch said the following about Hujar’s fame at the time of his death: ‘In a way, he was famous. But it was a very odd fame. I am tempted to call it a kind of secret fame. His reputation was simultaneously widespread and covered; at once powerful and almost invisible.
