1948

Finn co-founded the Ruder Finn public relations agency in 1948 along with Bill Ruder.

Over the years, his clients included Perry Como, John D. Rockefeller III, and John F. Kennedy, among many others.

Ruder Finn has also represented many Fortune 500 companies, universities, not-for-profit organizations, and foreign governments.

Finn was also an influential historian, author and photographer of sculpture.

1990

Besides contributing his photography to books by art historians, he wrote articles about sculpture for the Congressional newspaper Roll Call and the National Sculpture Society's quarterly journal Sculpture Review, which he headed as editor-in-chief during the 1990s.

His photographs have appeared in over 100 books on the history of sculpture, many of which he authored.

Finn's photographs of sculpture have been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America at Columbia University, L'Orangerie in Paris, the American Cultural Center in Madrid, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Municipal Art Society in New York.

Finn applied an artistic style to his photographs of sculpture.

He employed raking light and high-contrast black and white to emphasize the drama and three-dimensionality of sculpture.

In addition to overall shots, he often focused on close-ups and details, which allowed him to isolate and abstract small sections of his subjects.

This idiosyncratic style earned him favor with contemporary sculptors like Henry Moore, whose work Finn photographed extensively.

Finn photographed both Western and non-Western sculpture, including major works from the European canon from the 12th to the 21st centuries, and examples of sculpture from Mesoamerican, Oceanic, and many other traditions.

Finn photographed the works of important contemporary sculptors, such as Henry Moore and Eduardo Chillida.

He was noted for capturing well-known sculptures from novel angles, like many of his in situ photographs of monumental sculpture.

The collection includes many of the original photographs that Finn used for his publications on various topics related to sculptural history.

Much of the collection is digitized and available for viewing at the Department of Image Collections, National Gallery of Art Library website.
