RARE is pleased to present The Downtown Decade, a multi-genre overview of the intensely fertile and interconnected creative scene that developed on New York City’s Lower East Side during the late 1970s and early 1980s. At a time when the city was on the brink of fiscal disaster and suffering daily internal chaos, a burgeoning artistic community emerged that would enduringly alter previously held perceptions of art, photography, literature, film, and music. On display will be original items both by and featuring many of the participants, including Rene Ricard, David Armstrong, Nan Goldin, the Lurie Brothers, Jenny Holzer, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, John Cage, Blondie, the Ramones, and more, as well as historical documentary material and a period soundtrack.

On the occasion of this year’s gallery weekend, Galerie Thomas Zander is pleased to present two artistic positions at the gallery for the first time. While a rich selection of photographs from Peter Hujar’s Night series is exhibited in the Second Floor, the artist Günter Umberg shows paintings from his group of works Territorien in dialogue with works from his current creative period. September 4 – October 30, 2015.

There will be nineteen photographs by Peter Hujar on exhibit at Galerie Buchholz in Cologne Germany, curated by Danh Vo.

“What happens when you create a full-scale replica of the

Statue of Liberty, dismantle it into more than 150 pieces, and

scatter them across the globe? This spectacular long-term

project, entitled We The People, is just one example of how

Danh Võ touches on our cultural understanding of ourselves

in a changed and changing world. In his objects, installations,

photographs, and works on paper, the artist, who was born

in Vietnam in 1975 and grew up in Copenhagen, combines

experiences from his childhood with his family’s history,

their flight to Europe, and questions of colonialism, migration,

and cultural identity.

The show, which was conceived by Danh Võ specifically

for the museum, brings together the largest contiguous piece

of We The People to date with additional new works, which

engage in a dialogue with selected works by the US-American

photographer Peter Hujar.”

Fraenkel Gallery will have five prints by Peter Hujar at Art Basel:

Will: Char-Pei (II), 1985

Self-Portrait in the Baths, 1979

Bouche Walker (Reggie’s Dog), 1981

Self-Portrait Jumping (I), 1974

Self-Portrait Lying Down, 1975

Peter Hujar will have two prints in this show about the representations of animals at the Fotomuseum Winterthur in Switzerland. From the press release:

“Since the 1970s, artists, too, have engaged with the animal, rethinking traditional categories of representation to challenge human-animal relations as well as the nature of creative practice. Beastly/Tierisch explores these issues in the work of photographers and video artists…”

Peter Hujar will be represented by two prints:

Face of a Dog [Clarissa Dalrymple’s Dog, Kirsten], 1984

Self Portrait (with a string around neck), 1980

Peter Hujar will have eighteen photographs displayed in the year-long show A Slip of the Tongue, curated by artist Danh Vō  in collaboration with Caroline Bourgeois, at the Punta della Dogana in Venice, opening on April 12, 2015.

“The work of Peter Hujar (born 1934 in Trenton, New Jersey; died 1987) has been the subject of many major exhibitions since the 1980s. The first in Switzerland was at Kunsthalle Basel in 1982. In 1994 he had a show at the Fotomuseum Winterthur and at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and in 2007 at the ICA London. In 2011, Mai 36 Galerie included Hujar’s series of images Thek’s Studio 1967 in the exhibition Paul Thek – cityscapes and other ideas.

We are delighted to announce the representation of the Peter Hujar Estate by the Mai 36 Galerie in conjunction with Pace/MacGill Gallery and Fraenkel Gallery.

Like his fellow New Yorkers Irving Penn, Richard Avedon and Robert Mapplethorpe, Peter Hujar was originally a fashion photographer. However, his work differs markedly from theirs. Hujar always struggled with the superficiality of fashion photography and was more interested in the portrayal of real life, in its purest form: in all its corporeality and drama, and at times with humour – as in his animal portraits showing the innocence of creatures.”

30 photographs by Peter Hujar are currently up at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in New York, in an exhibition celebrating works donated to their permanent collection. The exhibition runs through September 28, 2014.

Peter Hujar will have his first solo gallery show in London this summer at the Maureen Paley Gallery. Featuring portraits of Divine, John Waters, Ethyl Eichelberger, Diana Vreeland, and many others. It’s a must see if you are in London!
