Lot 60
HUJAR, PETER (1934-1987) [Candy Darling on her Death Bed],
1973, likely printed 1980s. Gelatin silver print, 14 5/8 x 14 5/8 inches (374 x 374 mm) on larger sheet, verso signed by Hujar in blue ink. Minor silvering noted towards the edges of the image, the tones of the image with tones slightly towards towards rose, possibly a deliberate effect, though we do not note this in other examples of the image. Framed.
