The Vanities: Hollywood Parties 2000–2009 presents a decade of photographs by American photographer Larry Fink documenting the legendary Vanity Fair Oscar parties.

These gatherings, attended by leading figures of the film industry, have become emblematic of Hollywood’s culture of glamour, fame, and power.

Known for his distinctive documentary style, Fink approaches the celebrity milieu with an unvarnished and often ironic gaze. His flash-lit photographs capture moments of tension, intimacy, and theatricality behind the façade of the entertainment industry. Rather than reproducing the polished image of Hollywood publicity photography, the images reveal the physical proximity, performative gestures, and social choreography that define these exclusive events.

The book assembles portraits of actors, directors, producers, and their entourages, offering an observational record of Hollywood’s social rituals during the first decade of the twenty-first century. Through Fink’s expressive visual language, the parties appear less as staged spectacles and more as a contemporary court society in which glamour and exhaustion coexist.
