New York Series #22

Peter Hujar · 1976

This is New York Series #22 — a photograph by Peter Hujar, nineteen seventy-six. It's gelatin silver print, about 37 by 37 centimeters. It is among the darkest surfaces here: measured across the whole picture it gives back very little light. You can pick out the skyscraper.
