Art Gallery of Ontario acquires more than 200 Peter Hujar photographs

The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) has acquired 210 photographs by Ukrainian American photographer Peter Hujar (1934-87) from the Hujar Archive. The acquisition coincides with the gallery’s photography department preparing for its 25th anniversary exhibition, Collective Visions: Celebrating 25 Years of Photography, opening November 7, which will feature around 80 works chosen by the local community. The exhibition uses a unique chain-selection process where local artists, collectors, donors, community leaders, and scholars pick works in sequence, each inspired by the previous choice.

The images, shot on Kodachrome in 1975 and 1976, document the early Christopher Street Liberation Day Marches that followed the 1969 Stonewall uprising. The show features activists, lovers, and loners, including Sylvia Rivera, capturing a blend of protest and pageantry with sequins, feather boas, and political slogans.
