Mitchell Funk
Central Park in Negative Color

1970

About the Item

Mitchell Funk is a very early pioneer of color photography. In this striking image, he is using negative color to give an simultaneous beautiful yet eerie effect . Remarkably, Central Park is completely devoid human presence with the exception of a lone figure. Left center you will see a skyscraper. It's the Gulf and Western building which in 1970 was the lone modern skyscraper on the upper-westside. Transparency film, ( in this case Etkachome X ) was processed with C44 negative film chemistry which inverted the colors. Kodachrome was not used because the dedicated Kodak Lab in Fairlawn New Jersey would not do it. So Funk always used the custom lab K& L in New York City. Etkachrome is a little more of snappy and contrasty but was not as fine grain as Kodachrome, yet still Funk is able to achieve great detail and sharpness.

  • Vintage Silver Gelatin Photograph Jacques Lipchitz Bronze Sculpture Photo Signed
    By Adolph Studly
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Adolph Studly, Swiss born American photographer. His work is kept in the Photographic Archive at The Museum of Modern Art Archives, New York. He was known for his gallery photographs of works by artists represented primarily by the Buchholz gallery, Curt Valentin, and Stephen Radich Galleries. Artists whose work he shot include Max Beckmann, Francis Bacon, Chaim Soutine, Allan Kaprow, Clyfford Still, Georges Braque, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Picasso, Auguste Rodin, Georges Rouault. He worked with Louis H. Dreyer, the pre-eminent architecture photographer in New York City. Chaim Jacob Lipchitz, 1891-1973, was born in Lithuania and came of age in Paris during the early 20th century, where he was active in the avante-garde community of Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Diego Rivera, Chaim Soutine, and Juan Gris. Art historian H. H. Arnason, who ranked Lipchitz with Picasso and Marc Chagall, wrote, "Lipchitz, as a pure sculptor, is ...unquestionably one of the greatest sculptors of this century." The architect Philip Johnson asked Lipchitz to make a wall sculpture to be placed on the brick chimney over a fireplace of a guest house owned by Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III on West 53rd Street in New York. Lipchitz decided to develop the piece from his Pegasus designs and call it Birth of the Muses in honor of the Rockefellers' interest in the arts. In 1950 he completed the work as a bronze relief five feet high. It was installed as planned and later was acquired by Lincoln Center. He participated in the Flight portfolio...
