Résumé

Résumé : A compelling visual artefact celebrating New York artist Peter Hujar’s life, career, and relationship with the communities he moved and worked within Collects never-before-seen highlights from Hujar’s archive of 5,783 contact sheets, dating from 1954 to 1987 , with the job books in which he recorded more than a thousand photoshoots, all contextualised by texts by Joel Smith Released alongside the opening of the exhibition ‘Hujar:Contact’ at the Morgan Library & Museum, New York, on show from 22 May to 25 October 2026 Hujar:Contact explores the Morgan Library & Museum’s extensive archive of original contact sheets and job books made by the beloved photographer Peter Hujar between 1954 and 1987 , which come together to form an enthralling visual document of the artist’s creative process. Hujar’s empathetic eye focused in on varying subjects – crowds of protest, damaged relics, farm animals – but above all he was preoccupied with making portraits of the overlapping circles of artists, writers, and underground luminaries he moved within in New York. Accompanying critical texts by Joel Smith establish a chronology of Hujar’s contact sheets, presenting an artist developing, experimenting with, and refining his practice against the tumultuous cultural politics and sea changes of gay life conveyed by the words ‘Stonewall’ and ‘AIDS’. Throughout his career Hujar recorded more than a thousand photo shoots in his job books. These documents, which are transcribed and annotated in Hujar:Contact, illuminate the contact sheets, rich in never-before-seen images as well as the earliest iterations of Hujar’s most iconic works, including portraits of Susan Sontag, David Wojnarowicz, Candy Darling, Gary Indiana, Fran Lebowitz, and Paul Thek. This volume provides captivating insight into a master at work, forming an immersive chronicle of Hujar’s poignant efforts to connect, through photography, with the creative communities that defined his life, outlook, and art. Co-published with the Morgan Library & Museum, New York, on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Hujar:Contact’, on show from 22 May–25 October 2026
