[This exhibition is only a starting point and I'd welcome further examples and suggestions. I gather that there are photographs by Evan Abramson, Diane Arbus, Cass Bird, Dietmar Busse, Stephen Cohen, Nan Goldin, Peter Hujar, Yasumasa Morimura and Catherine Opie that should be included. There are also photographs of Francis Renault and the Greek artist Yannis Tsarouchis, who was a notorious cross dresser in his youth.]
