Over 110 contact sheets and 20 enlargements trace photographer Peter Hujar's creative evolution from the 1950s through 1987.
Ιστότοπος μουσείουAcross nine proof sheets, Peter Hujar numbered a sequence in red grease pencil: three shaggy-haired dancers from Robert Wilson's Byrd Hoffman School, running through a seven-part routine. Two of the nine are on the wall, and the numbering shows how he read his own pictures.
The show is more than 110 contact sheets from the 5,783 the Morgan bought in 2013, plus 20 enlargements. The sheets are dusty, bent and scratched, and they carry Hujar's own marks for favourite frames and crops. The museum provides a magnifying glass, and you need it. Curator Joel Smith's focus is process, so the longest strips play almost like film: 24 frames of Candy Darling in 1973, 12 of James Waring in satin and a gold mask.
Paris Review critic Nicholas Gamso found it less gloomy than Hujar's reputation, richer and sometimes funny. Hujar picked his best frames with a red grease pencil. You do it with a heart tap, on the 6 train, through 40 identical brunch photos. It closes 25 October.
Τα φύλλα επαφών του Peter Hujar και όχι οι τελικές του εκτυπώσεις: ολόκληρο το φιλμ κάθε φορά, με τα σχεδόν πετυχημένα καρέ δίπλα σε εκείνο που επέλεξε. Το αντίθετο από το να διαγράψεις τριάντα λήψεις από το ρολό της κάμεράς σου.
Byrds - 7 Movements (1973)
Red grease-pencil numbers run across the sheet, tracking a Byrd Hoffman School dancer from sitting at ease to a crouch with arms outstretched.
Candy Darling, 24 frames (1973)
One long sequence follows her rising in a deathbed pose with a messy blond wig, then collapsing.
James Waring in twelve exposures
The choreographer appears draped in satin and brandishing a gold mask.
Kenneth King in Wilson's studio
King mimes in white gloves, wig and wire-frame glasses, in a Spring Street studio decorated with strips of torn muslin.
Palermo Catacombs (1963)
A narrow 3 by 8 inch sheet from the trip with Paul Thek, with snapshots of the catacomb corpses.
You want large finished prints: most of the show is small contact sheets read up close.
