Dear Jean Pierre by David Wojnarowicz, which collects the artist’s transatlantic correspondence to his Parisian lover Jean Pierre Delage between 1979 and 1982. With postcards, drawings, xeroxes, photographs, collages, flyers, ephemera, and contact sheets, this book introduces readers to Wojnarowicz’s Rimbaud series, the band 3 Teens Kill 4, his first photographs, his early friendship with Peter Hujar and his participation in the East Village art and music scenes. Capturing a foundational moment for Wojnarowicz’s artistic and literary practice, these letters not only reveal his captivating, tender personality, but also index the development of the visual language that would go on to define him as one of the preeminent artists of his generation before his premature death of AIDS-related illness in 1992 at the age of 37.
