Beat Bolliger on PETER HUJAR

When asked to select a photograph that I have always loved in the history of men’s fashion and photography I had quite a hard time trying to narrow it down to only one. However I have chosen Peter Hujar’s portrait of David Wojnarowicz: this is a picture that I love and continue to use as a point of reference throughout my work. It is a classic yet very intimate image, a simple potrayal of a powerful i ndividual, with a h int of sexuality.
