Pat Sabatines Twelfth Birthday Party is an archival pigment print from Social Graces, a portfolio consisting of 15 photographs by Larry Fink documenting the social rituals of American life across lines of class and occasion. The image depicts five young people clustered together at a party, one woman reaching across the group toward a man at the right edge of the frame, a curly-haired figure crouching between others at center, multiple bodies and hands overlapping in a moment of energetic social contact, the faces showing pleasure, attention, and animation against a dark background. Signed in pencil on verso.
