Recorded in 1974, Hujar talks his friend through the small moments that define an artist’s life, capturing a single day’s activities—from interactions with cultural icons of the day, including Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Susan Sontag, to the challenges of living downtown in 1970s New York. Both elegant and intimate—and a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its centre—Peter Hujar's Day is a masterful portrait of both an iconic artist and an incomparable era for art.
