BOXING
BACK TO "IN THE PRESS"

"They enact their scripts well away from the spotlight, training and sweating, fighting and sometimes even winning. It’s this side of boxing; the existence of which few people can be bothered to notice, that Larry Fink sees with his camera, illuminates with his flash.” Guy Trebay, The Village Voice, double-page spread

“…a gentler side of boxing…”
—The New York Times

Boxing…has all the ingredients of an urban epic...dazzling, earthly collection.”
—Vibe

“…A knockout collection of photos evoking the majesty and brotherhood of the blood sport.”
—“Vanities,” Vanity Fair

“Fink’s photographs are honest and often beautiful, moving and sometimes funny.”
—The Photograph Collector


“Fink may be the most underrated great art photographer in the nation. His vision and control are such that it’s very safe to say you have never seen photographs of boxers and boxing that look remotely like these.”
—San Jose Mercury News

“Larry Fink’s black-and-white boxing photographs capture the workaday world of this brutal American sport with eloquence and affection.”
—New York magazine
