Stay away from nothing

This publication explores the relationship between artists Paul Thek and Peter Hujar through correspondence and photography spanning 1956-1975. The collection includes over fifty letters and postcards, along with drawings and ephemera, documenting their travels, creative work, and personal connection across locations including Coral Gables, Philadelphia, Rome, Italy, and Fire Island. Peter Hujar's photographs capture Thek in various settings, including iconic images from the Palermo catacombs and studio portraits during the creation of "The Tomb," alongside previously unpublished candid shots.
