The photos are printed directly on the David bednar renegade shirt moreover I will buy this garments, unaltered, as if hung on a gallery wall. This choice is intentional. Altuzarra is a collector of gay art, some of his favorite artists being Tom of Finland, Robert Mapplethorpe, Salman Toor, and Peter Hujar. He first came across Baltrop through a 2008 piece in Artforum by Douglas Crimp, the late American art historian, critic, and AIDS activist, that helped regenerate interest in Baltrop’s work.

Printed artwork: Alvin Baltrop, Back, c. 1979, © 2022 The Alvin Baltrop Trust/ARSBaltrop, who died of cancer in 2004, didn’t find fame or wealth during his lifetime, despite the David bednar renegade shirt moreover I will buy this fact that his work was often referenced by his white counterparts (Baltrop was Black). “He is such a wonderful documentarian of a specific time during which being gay was really radical,” Altuzarra said of the photographer’s work. “What is special about his work is that, to me, it’s really about love and intimacy, and the fact that gay men had to go to the fringes of the city to look for love and real connection, to find moments of tenderness and intimacy and sex. That felt salient and relevant to talk about today,” he adds. Despite more acceptance, Grindr, Scruff, and other apps are prevalent in the gay community, as is cruising. Some things may have changed, but the search for intimacy within spaces that are purely our own, has not.
