Hungarian Debutante Ball, New York City 1977

Larry Fink's 1977 black and white photograph, "Hungarian Debutante Ball, New York City", captures a man in a tuxedo descending a grand staircase, framed by a lavishly decorated wall with a mural reminiscent of Renaissance Italian art. The image, with its high contrast and stark lighting, evokes a sense of formality and grandeur, a classic theme within Fink's photojournalistic style. Fink, known for his candid and often humorous portrayal of social events, captures the atmosphere of a formal New York ball through this striking photograph.
