From the publisher:

"This precious little book, Night at the Met, grew out of Fotovision, a California based documentary and book studies center, which was working to create an international community for the intensive study, practice and publication of photographs that engaged the issues of the day during a time when documentary photography was under siege. Over seven years it brought photographers like Sebastiāo Salgado, Mary Ellen Mark, James Nachtwey, Donna Ferrato and many local and nationally renowned photographers to teach workshops and lecture in the San Francisco Bay Area.

These ideas brought a unique collaboration between the Fotovision West team of Ken and Melanie Light and staffer Adrianne Koteen and the East Coast team of Larry Fink and his people. Larry wanted to support Fotovision and the ideas it represented. Working across the continent (East & West) via email, the teams collaborated on what became a beautifully produced special edition book with a signed black and white chromogenic print by Larry.

In 2007, at the Apollo Circle Benefit Larry created an interactive evening by shooting the guests and then projecting those images onto the walls of the museum throughout the night and these images had never really seen the light of day. He thought they would make a perfect little book documenting the ritual of a donor party at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. These images are classic Larry Fink, shot with flash and revealing social commentary on class and privilege.

The limited edition was comprised of 100 signed and numbered books with a signed chromogenic print with a choice between one of two prints. The edition sold well and only a few copies are still available. — Ken Light"
