Portraits in Life and Death

€244.00
Incredible collection of portraits of the living and the dead by Peter Hujar. Beautifully printed and scarce. Introduction by Susan Sontag
Introduction by Susan Sontag. 29 b/w portraits of "creative people --ranging from William Burroughs and Susan Sontag to Larry Ree, founder of the Trockadero Gloxinia Ballet Company, and T.C., the exotic dancer -- possess an individual and haunting beauty as well as a degree of psychological penetration that is both off-beat and riveting. ...followed by eleven images of semi-preserved, clothed bodies of 19th century Sicilians found in the arid catacombs beneath a church in Palermo".
