"Only the haters do not hate hate. Hate for them becomes a motivating force, enhancing ignorance, precluding violence. America is impregnated by this racist hate. Our struggle will be for now and forever to try to equalize the playing field."Larry Fink. [Image Courtesy: "Women’s March, Washington DC 01-17" Larry Fink]

"All my life, from perhaps even one year old, since my parents were Jazz fiends, I was underneath the audible aura of music being played. Fact is I started to play myself, through the piano, and then finally, the harmonica. Music is the very core of the blood rhythms of my soul. The book 'Somewhere There’s Music' is the preamble to the song How High the Moon. Music allows your mind to dance very very high into the energy of a room."Larry Fink.

"In the nineties, for mysterious reasons here untold, I was magnetized by the powerful polarities in the physical world of boxing. I spent eight years close to sweat, blood, innocence, and corruption. This picture speaks about sensual ambiguities."Larry Fink.

Dr. David Pilgrim & Andres Serrano, Obsessing About Race: A Conversation About Collecting Racist Objects

"Persist, Insist" is an installation and online image gallery of photographs from the archive of Larry Fink on view from October 28 to December 6, 2020. Fink has used his camera to document people across all facets of life including the frontlines of the civil rights movement during the 1960s. His photography style is deeply empathetic, and he captures the humanity in all of his subjects. Follow along as Larry Fink takes over our Instagram from October 28th-November 2nd. "I h...ave been working and making photographs for over 65 years. I am approaching the age of 80, still working for posterity, beauty, and for you, and for me. In the last period of time I've been called a legend and other notable titles. But I protest, because being a legend is as close to being a has been. Being a has been is stepping on the land called 'out to pasture.' I resist this condition, and I go on. I will persist. This picture is the equivalent of my photographic terms of Beethoven’s 5th. Made in 1978, of my friends, the neighbors on Little Creek Road, Pennsylvania. It was the cover of my first monograph Social Graces, which for some ungodly reason, became a seminal work based on frivolity and class."Larry Fink.
