Peter Hujar

Boys in Car, Halloween1978

Street photographer of the New York Underground, Peter Hujar spent the 1970's and 1980's documenting the acid fallout of the 1960's. He was the unofficial recorder of the cultural elite, capturing a city that thrived artistically, but was economically bankrupt. He also captured the gaunt-like revellers of Warhol's world, including the transvestite Candy Darling on her deathbed. An exhibition of his work commences in London at ICA, SW1, Jan 5 to Jan 27 08
