‘Peter Hujar – Eyes Open in the Dark at Raven Row, London: January 30 – April 6, 2025
Later this month, Raven Row will open a new exhibition of work by Peter Hujar, curated by the late American photographer’s biographer John Douglas Millar, and his close friend, the artist and master printer Gary Schneider. Unusually, the display will place emphasis on Hujar’s later work, including portraits of his fellow denizens of downtown New York, his street photographs and more. Of particular note are the expansive images he made after his emergence from a debilitating depression in 1976, and the stirring pictures he took in the early 80s “as the Aids crisis devastated his community, and his work entered into dialogue with the younger artist David Wojnarowicz”. ‘ -Daisy Woodward
