Peter Hujar's Day

This intimate volume by Linda Rosenkrantz recounts a day in the life of photographer Peter Hujar. In these pages, Hujar describes everything he did on December 18, 1974, ranging from daily activities to his deeper, more personal thoughts. Through Hujar’s detailed account, Rosenkrantz captures an unvarnished and candid narrative of the artist at a specific point in time—a verbal snapshot of 1970s downtown New York. Peter Hujar’s Day also includes an introduction by Stephen Koch.
