Canal Street Piers: Fake Men on Stairs

<p>This work records sculptures made by David Finn as part of an informal 1983 effort by artists to fill Pier 34 on Manhattan’s West Side with art. The sculptures, along with Wojnarowicz’s series Rimbaud in New York and Hujar’s photographs of inert figures and investigations of the uncanny space between life and death, suggest a shared interest among artists in Hujar’s circle in using the lingering presence of a body to suggest a haunted space.</p>
