Jackie Curtis, New York City, c. 1979

Jackie Curtis photographed in New York City, c. 1979, by Bobby Grossman.

Jackie Curtis was a playwright, performer, and Warhol superstar whose gender-fluid persona made an indelible mark on downtown New York theater and nightlife. A fixture of the Theatre of the Ridiculous and immortalized in Lou Reed's “Walk on the Wild Side”, Curtis embodied the boundary-dissolving spirit that ran from the Factory through the punk era. Grossman photographed Curtis as part of his wider record of the artists, performers, and provocateurs who defined the period.
