The Remsen Wolff ©ollection

From 1950 to 1998, five decades of photography, poetry, and personal archive from New York artist Remsen Wolff aka Vivienne Blum (1940–1998).

Remsen Wolff aka Vivienne Blum (1940–1998) was a New York artist and poet whose archive spans nearly five decades and more than 200,000 works: vintage prints, negatives and transparencies, Polaroids, poems, and notebooks. Selections have been shown at FOAM Amsterdam, at the Hermitage Amsterdam, at the Alice Austen House Museum and at Photoville New York. The rest is held in this collection, available to researchers, curators, and collectors. The archive includes vintage baryta and Cibachrome prints.

"Special Girls, which draws from the mammoth archive of photographer Remsen Wolff, shows off 1990s-era photos of trans women, as well as gender nonconforming individuals such as crossdressers and drag queens."
