Russian Ball is an archival pigment print from Social Graces, a portfolio of 15 photographs by Larry Fink documenting the social rituals of American life across lines of class and occasion. The image depicts a woman in a sequined or patterned sleeveless dress seated alertly on a long white inflatable sectional sofa, while a man in a dark tuxedo lies collapsed beside her with his head thrown back and arms spread, a low drum table with a drink and ashtray between them, the whole scene swallowed in darkness. Signed in pencil on verso.
