From the NYC Village Halloween Parade, 1982–86.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eA whimsical \"cocktail party\" takes to the streets during the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade in the mid-1980s, featuring three participants encased in oversized beverage glass costumes. These surreal, wearable art pieces were the work of designer Robert Tabor, who became a parade fixture for his massive, sculptural creations that often transformed human forms into everyday objects. This black-and-white analog shot, captured on 35mm Tri-X film, uses a powerful Norman 200B flash to freeze the exuberant motion of the martini and highball glass masqueraders. The contrasty light glints off the \"liquid\" and garnish details—including a giant lemon slice and stirrer—separating the figures from the dark New York City night. It is a quintessential moment of the annual NYC tradition, showcasing the playful and inventive spirit of a designer whose \"wow\" factor helped define the visual spectacle of the 1980s parade scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"20 x 16″ \/ GVHP B\u0026W on Epson Smooth 250grm","offer_id":41562457964615,"sku":"539735-29793093-508000-406000","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3240\/0967\/files\/Cocktail_Party_GVHP_Sht_013_Frame_10A_sm_PREVIEW.jpg?v=1743193535","url":"https:\/\/scottlaperruque.myshopify.com\/products\/cocktail-party-nyc-village-halloween-parade-1982-86","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
