Larry Fink: Sensual Empathy
Uploaded by CPW
Larry Fink, Studio 54, New York, NY, May 1977 Gelatin silver print, 16x20 in.
Curated by distinguished writer Lucy Sante, Larry Fink:
Sensual Empathy, celebrates Fink’s remarkable instinct for
capturing the spirit of a given social moment. He famously
pointed his lens on all levels of society, from New York and
Hollywood gala revelers to the at-home partying of working
class, rural Americans; from civil rights demonstrations to
1960s jazz giants. As Fink once noted, his characteristic
black-and-white photographs of America’s elite and working
class were “political, not polemical.” This exhibition is organized in partnership with the MUUS Collection.
