Much at the Morgan

Two exhibitions just opened at the Morgan Library and Museum that should be of interest to any Bookman headed to the Big Apple in the next few months.

The first, Tennessee Williams: No Refuge but Writing (through May 13), is a natural follow-up to the John Lahr biography of the playwright we read back in 2016—Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh.

And the second, Peter Hujar: Speed of Life (through May 20), highlights a New York-based photographer whose name has come up in several books we’ve read—most recently, Philip Gefter’s Wagstaff (not to mention the cover photo for Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life).

Of course, you don’t have to leave town to see Hujar’s oeuvre. He figures prominently in a new show at the Hirshhorn, Brand-New: Art and Commodity in the 1980s (through May 13).
