The life and art of Peter Hujar (1934–1987) are rooted in downtown New York. Private by nature, combative in manner, well read, and widely connected, Hujar inhabited a world of avant-garde dance, music, art, and drag performance. His career paralleled the public unfolding of gay life between the Stonewall uprising in 1969 and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.

This retrospective, held at Jeu de Paume from 15 October 2019 to 19 January 2020, presents a selection of 140 photographs that trace the journey of this complex artist over the course of three decades.
