LARRY FINK

Larry Fink was born in Brooklyn in 1941 and studied with Lisette Model, who encouraged him to become a professional photographer. Fink is best known for his series Social Graces, which explores social class in America in the 1970s by comparing two different worlds: that of urban New Yorkers at places like Studio 54 and that of rural, working class Pennsylvanians at events like birthday parties. Fink has taught for over forty years, most recently as a tenured professor at Bard College.
