In the early 1990s, Wolff, struggling with his identity and gender, became fascinated by the beauty and talent of a hundred special girls in New York and chose them as his photo models personally. The first selection All American Girls is fully included in the accompanying book with the same title. A number of models in 'All American Girls' are now world famous, such as Kabuki Starshine and Amanda Lepore. From the 1990s, Wolff called himself "phony transsexual." In the last years of his turbulent life, he took the self-chosen name of Vivienne (Viv) Blum. After that, Wolff died in his birthplace New York. He left his archive to his last assistant, the Dutch photographer Jochem Brouwer. This book is the very first solo publication in which work by Remsen Wolff is shown and also the start of the tribute to this very talented photographer.
