Elliott Erwitt, known for his sharp eye for humor and keen observations of everyday life, captured the exuberant spirit of the 1989 “Wigstock” festival in New York City with his trademark wit and candid style. “Wigstock,” a vibrant annual celebration of drag culture, music, and performance art, was an iconic event that drew crowds from across the country to witness bold fashion, artistic expression, and the embracing of LGBTQ+ identities.
