Exhibition Label: "Signs of Faith: Photographs from the Collection," Oct-2001, Elissa L.Anderson Friedlander’s photograph appeared in an Esquire article “The Party’s Over,” on the extravagant and decadent parties popular in the late 1960s throughout the United States. The picture’s somewhat unsettling subject of a topless wedding blurs the boundary between the sanctified institution of marriage and the social liberties taken at that time in daily life.
