About the artist

Larry Fink

American

1941–2023

Larry Fink was born in 1941 and studied at the New School for Social Research under photographer Lisette Model. He later worked for several institutions, such as Yale University School of Art and Bard College. In 1976 and 1979, he received the Guggenheim Fellowship and the National Endowment for the Arts Individual Photography Fellowships in 1978 and 1986. Fink's most famous works were black-and-white photographs that captured people at parties and other social gatherings. He is known for his series Social Graces, where he explored social class in America in the 1970s by comparing two different worlds: that of wealthy, urban New Yorkers and that of rural, working class Pennsylvanians at events like birthday parties. The series was printed by Aperture in 1984. Fink's photographs are held in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., among others. He died in 2023.
