The photographer’s beautiful and the brutal work features in a new online exhibition PeterHujar PaceGallery

, 1976, a man sunbathing by the Hudson River in short shorts unashamedly bares his legs, with a hazy detail of a ship on the backdrop. There is no dramatically lit studio, but Hujar’s voyeuristic gaze and the subject’s grand gesture recall his performative shots of artists John Giorno or Ethyl Eichelberger. The adjacent photograph,, taken in the same year and location, fits multiple men into the frame – each with searching eyes, some with naked chests and confident attitudes.

Until his death in 1987 due to Aids-related illness, Hujar’s Second Avenue loft was frequented by his close friends such as Susan Sontag, Fran Lebowitz and Greer Lankton, all of whom posed for disarming solo portraits. The exhibition includes a young Lebowitz waking up from a sleep; while Lankton stares into the ceiling, almost ready to surrender to her dream-state.
