Analogs of a kind in the themes of their various practices and their fated heydays in the years following “gay liberation” but falling short of the advent of protease inhibitors, Hervé Guibert and David Wojnarowicz both cast long shadows of influence and cult attention.

FOR AN EARLY DEATH—an exhibition of photographs by Guibert and Wojnarowicz curated by Hugo Bausch Belbachir and Thomas Villemin—is on view at Fitzpatrick Gallery in Paris for three more days. See link below for details.
