About the Item

Street photograph of an eccentric woman with a brightly colored hat and colorful clothes pushing a baby carriage with a dog occupant. She stands in front of a window display with bright yellow umbrellas. The interaction between the colors of the foreground woman with the window display creates a punchy abstract pattern and a double take as if the window display extends into the street. The color-hunting eye of veteran street photographer Mitchell Funk transforms drab street scenes into sanctuaries of luminous bright colors. The work is signed dated and numbered 2/15 lower right recto, with other sizes available, and it's unframed, printed later.
