{"product_id":"the-shabbiness-of-beauty","title":"The Shabbiness of Beauty","description":"\u003cp\u003e“I curated myself with Peter Hujar; a risky act, but it was an invitation I could not resist. I began by listing categories of images I wanted to see: animals, water, Latino men, body parts, NYC, babies. I’ve long been familiar with Hujar’s work and chose images I knew I could be in conversation with, but I also tried as much as possible to select from amongst his lesser-known works, in particular ones that have rarely if ever been shown. . .”\u003cbr\u003e—Mora Davey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautiful and much-awaited book, that follows the exhibition Davey curated at Galerie Buchholz in spring 2020. The two artists' photographs are set in a dialogue that highlight their physicality, tenderness, and emotional power, between the allegory and the document. Most of the photographs are in b\/w, except for some of portraits of Paul Thek by Hujar. Amazing pictures of motherhood, sea, and horses. \u003cem\u003eThe Shabbiness of Beauty\u003c\/em\u003e also comprises a new text by Eileen Myles; the text Davey wrote for the 2020 show; and a note by Stephen Koch about a Hujar letter reproduced in the book. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57357642793300,"sku":"A8B-29081","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/Scan_20210505_143934.jpg?v=1790812529","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/the-shabbiness-of-beauty","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
