Special Girls – a Celebration

Meatpacking District

Remsen Wolff's "Special Girls" exhibition presents roughly 100,000 stylized portraits of trans individuals, drag queens, and female impersonators from 1990s New York and Amsterdam. Wolff photographed his subjects as confident individuals, not spectacles, creating a vital archive that preserves stories often lost to the AIDS epidemic and historical erasure.
