Fink on Warhol: New York Photographs of the 1960s by Larry Fink

A long-lost photoshoot of the Warhol tribe at the peak of its fame
Fink on Warhol collects photographs of Andy Warhol and his tribe taken within a time span of just four or five days in the spring of 1966 by Fink, working on assignment for the literary magazine East Side Review, alongside other photos of Warhol from this period. â€œThe story was about Andy,â€ explained Shepard Sherbell, the magazineâ€™s editor. â€œIn 1966, everything was about Andy.â€ The East Side Review closed before Finkâ€™s photographs ran; they are published here for the first time. â€œIt was a larky shoot,â€ says Fink of the photos. â€œSpontaneous.â€
Shooting Warhol, Ingrid Superstar, Lou Reed, John Cale, Edie Sedgwick and Gerard Malanga on the Lower East Side, Fink shared the eraâ€™s attraction to the gangâ€™s inimitable style and charisma. In the 50 intervening years, it never dawned on Fink that the photos had never been released. â€œI was high all the time back then,â€ he says. â€œAnd I wasnâ€™t a careerist. So I didnâ€™t think I needed to get them published. Then this year they turn up. And everybody goes: â€˜Well, look at this shit.â€™â€
