“The artist Tseng Kwong Chi’s “Art After Midnight” (1985), a photograph of his friends in the New York City downtown demimonde of the early 1980s, works on both a big scale and a small one. You can look at it as a chronicle of a certain moment in art and cultural history, when so many icons of the era — including, here, Keith Haring, the artists Peter McGough and David McDermott and the performer Ann Magnuson — were in the same place at the same time. You can look at it as a historical image, a capture of the last moments before AIDS completely decimated this community, and many others. Or you can look at it as something much more intimate: a group of friends, clowning for the camera, full of joy and silly with youth, even as the world as they knew it was changing forever.”
