The work of photographer Peter Hujar defined downtown New York in the 1970s and 1980s. Paul Thek was an American sculptor and painter. Hujar and Thek met in 1956 and shared a strong intellectual and artistic connection that influenced the work of both artists. This book follows the development of the intense friendship – and romance – between them, from their first encounter in Miami to the painful end of their friendship in the mid-1970s.
