Label Text:
During the 1970s, Neal Slavin began taking color photographs of groups of people. Documenting gatherings of individuals united by a single tie (here, their work on Liberty Island), Slavin's images wittily investigate the physical clues signaling group identity.

After parlaying his photographic skills into a career in commercials, Slavin is now directing movies. His first film, Focus, released in 2001, stars William H. Macy in an adaptation of an Arthur Miller story about conformity and collective identity in post-World War II America.
