Hope Sandrow
"…while Hope Sandrow’s and Peter Hujar’s more introspective views consider the inner life of a few key individuals who have come and gone. These images, along with the off-site film program and the relatively casual presentations at different points in the exhibition of ephemera and graphic art connected to the East Village, attempt to make the case that the artistic richness of this era, which an exhibition of this scale can only begin to consider, encompasses a complete spectrum of cultural expressions, bringing it much closer to our own moment in time than we had ever imagined possible."
In reference to the New Museum exhibit: East Village USA curated by then New Museum curator, Dan Cameron (December 9, 2004 – March 19, 2005)
