Thek was born with the first names George Joseph, but started calling himself 'Paul' from 1955. He was the lover of the photographer Peter Hujar for some time and remained friends with Susan Sontag until his untimely death from AIDS. Posthumously his work has been widely exhibited in the United States and Europe. His work is held in numerous collections, including the Center Georges Pompidou in Paris.
