Peter Moore Photographs is a rare and significant collection showcasing the work of Peter Moore (1932–1993), the British-born, New York-based photographer renowned for documenting avant-garde performance art and the Fluxus movement. Active for nearly three decades, primarily from the 1960s onward, Moore became the key visual archivist of radical artistic experimentation in postwar America.
His images capture the early careers of groundbreaking artists such as Yoko Ono, Robert Rauschenberg, Nam June Paik, John Cage, and Joseph Beuys, preserving ephemeral moments of performance art that might otherwise have been lost. Published in 1989 to accompany an exhibition at Gallery 360°, this catalog also features Andy Warhol and the Factory, Merce Cunningham, Yayoi Kusama, and Charlotte Moorman, among others. Moore’s photographs serve not only as historical documentation but as essential works in their own right, reflecting the raw energy and innovation of the avant-garde.
