Primedia eLaunch Llc Peter Hujar'S Day

On December 18, 1974, Linda Rosenkrantz asked her friend Peter Hujar to write down everything he did one day.Hujar met Rosenkrantz at her apartment on 94th street the following day where she asked him about it in detail.She tape-recorded their conversation and this book is a full transcript of that exchange, published here for the first time since it was recorded 47 years ago.The book features an introduction by Stephen Koch, director of the Peter Hujar Estate. “Peter Hujar’s monologue, prompted by Linda Rosenkranz, is a Warholian gem, and a prize discovery for Magic Hour Press.”— Moyra Davey“This slim volume is Peter’s sexiest self-portrait.Read it and weep if you didn’t know him. Or read it and weep if you did that we lost him.”— Nan Goldin“It’s wonderful to hear Peter’s voice again.The voice I channel when I make his prints [since 2008].He was my friend, mentor - an inspired printer - my teacher.Thank you, Linda, for your brilliant idea, and thanks for this book, it’s a great gift.”— Gary Schneider
