The Hebrew Home at Riverdale is pleased to announce its latest exhibition Photographs by Larry Fink from the Portfolio “Making Out 1957-1980” featuring a suite of 15 black and white limited edition photographs. The striking, high-contrast images explore the complexities of interpersonal relationships and human bonds.
Set in locations ranging from rural Pennsylvania to New York City, the work captures commonplace events—birthday parties, first communions, debutante balls—and presents the quintessential American experience. Fink’s photographs depict scenes in which ordinary people seek to connect with one another. As he writes in his introduction, “Most of the people photographed are touching each other…they look to find completion, to come home.”
Born in 1945, noted American photographer Larry Fink has been capturing the world through a camera lens for over forty years. His substantial body of work has been included in solo and group shows in museums and galleries around the world, as well as being featured in print publications such as Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and The New York Times Magazine. His photographs are held in the permanent collections of major museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, and La Bibliothèque Nationale de France (Paris, France). He has been the recipient of numerous honors and awards, and has published 5 books. He currently works as a tenured Professor of Photography at Bard College in Annandale on Hudson, NY.
As a member of the American Association of Museums, the Home is committed to exhibiting contemporary and modern works of art. The Hebrew Home at Riverdale, which houses a collection of 20th century art, is a nonprofit, non-sectarian geriatric center serving more than 3,000 elderly persons through its resources and community service programs. Its 19-acre main campus overlooks the Hudson River at 5901 Palisade Avenue in Riverdale.
