Shot between 1974 and 1982, Social Graces exposes America’s class divide by contrasting Manhattan’s urban high society with Pennsylvania’s rural countryside. Runway, photographed from 1993 to 1999 in Paris, Milan, and New York City, reveals the behind-the-scenes world of fashion shows and designer showcases, highlighting the chaotic operations and performative nature of fashion runways. Both series are defined by black-and-white tonalities and the artist’s signature use of flash.Artist BioKnown for picturing both the wealthy elite and the working class, Larry Fink (American, 1941–2023) studied with photographer Lisette Model at the New School for Social Research in New York City. His photographs have appeared in Vanity Fair, W, GQ, The New York Times Magazine, and The New Yorker. His first book, Social Graces (1984), was followed by Boxing (1997) and Runway (2000). A professor at Bard College (Red Hook, NY) between 1988 and 2017, Fink was awarded two John Simon Guggenheim Fellowships (1976, 1979) and two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships (1976, 1978). He was the recipient of the International Center of Photography Infinity Award for Art in 2015. His photographs can be found in the collections of the Bibliothèque nationale, Paris; the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York City; and the San Francisco Museum of Art.
