Exhibition Talk: Lucy Sante on Larry Fink
Join acclaimed author Lucy Sante for a special talk exploring Larry Fink’s role as a social photographer, examining both his social engagement and his commitment to documenting society.
People and their interactions were central to Fink's work. Over a career spanning more than sixty years, he photographed debutante balls, Oscar parties, demonstrations, boxing matches, and his neighbours in rural Pennsylvania—all with bold framing and masterly chiaroscuro, and with urgency, immediacy, and deep human feeling.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Larry Fink: Social Graces & Runway.
With support from Muus Collection.
