Show Object Label(s)Working as a professional photographer for nearly six decades, Larry Fink (b. 1941, American) achieved recognition for his blackand-white contrasting depictions of the elite and the working-class. Leaving a lasting impression on the photographic community, his first monograph Social Graces (1984) traversed vastly different social worlds of New York’s highclass society and his working-class neighbors in Martins Creek, Pennsylvania.

(1975) comprises the portfolio titled Social Context (1991) of Fink’s early and subsequent depictions of New York City’s rich and famous.
