Hungarian Ball, New York City 1977

Larry Fink's "Hungarian Ball, New York City" (1977) is a black and white photograph capturing a moment at a formal dance. The composition focuses on a couple in the foreground, the woman in a shimmering sequined dress, the man in a military uniform. The couple is partially obscured by another man in a similar uniform standing behind them. The dark, underexposed background evokes the atmosphere of a bustling event, emphasizing the candid intimacy of the central figures. This work exemplifies Fink's signature style of street photography, capturing the spontaneity and fleeting moments of everyday life.
