GUPTA, Sunil. Christopher Street 1976.

(London): Stanley Barker, 2018.  First edition.  Hardcover.  29.5cm by 23.1cm.  A striking photographic volume that captures the vibrancy, freedom, and burgeoning identity of the LGBTQ+ community in New York City during the summer of 1976. Taken during Gupta’s time as a student at the New School, these candid black-and-white images document life along Christopher Street in Greenwich Village—then a central hub for queer life and activism, just a few years after the Stonewall uprising.  As both a document and a love letter to a place and time, Christopher Street 1976 stands as a significant record of queer history, visibility, and resilience, filtered through Gupta’s intimate and observant perspective.  An as new still sealed copy signed by the photographer.
