Description:
New York: Da Capo, 1976. First edition. Softcover. The simultaneous paperback issue. The only book published during Hujar's AIDS shortened life. Features an introduction by Susan Sontag. An interesting collection in which Hujar juxtaposes images taken in the catacombs in Palermo, Sicily with portraits of his friends and celebrities many of whom would also succumb to AIDS. A very good copy with a sticker removal to the front panel and a sticker from the Visual Studies Workshop to the verso of the rear cover. Otherwise a solid copy of this terrific book.

Description:
New York: Da Capo Press, 1976. First edition (issued similtaneously in paperback, as here, and hardcover with jacket). A fine copy internally, the wrappers with some very light yellowing and a few stray marks. Essentially a fine, unread copy. 11 x 10 inches. 40 black-and-white reproductions. Printed wrappers. "I am moved by the purity and delicacy of his intentions. If a free human being can afford to think of nothing less than death, then these momento mori can exorcise morbidity as effectively as they evoke its sweet poetry and its panic" (from the introduction by Susan Sontag, whose renowned portrait by Hujar, showing her supine on a bed, is included in the book). The book is divided into two series: portraits taken between 1975-75, and photos of the Capuchin catacombs of Palermo taken in 1963. They form a provocative resonance. Portraits comprise: John Waters, Robert Wilson, Michèle Collison, Jose Rafael Arango, Edwin Denby, Linda Moses, Bill Elliott, Kenneth King, Peter Hujar (self…
