About the Item

A large decal of an American Flag is pasted on the interior of a New York City bus. Street Photographer Mitchell Funk captures a close-up of the bus as it passes by on the street. The reversed image of the flag is the center of a tight composition delineated in primary colors. To the right, we see a blurred, semi-silhouetted image of a young man who looks directly at the viewer, evoking a sense of mystery. Over the past 55 years, Mitchell Funk's groundbreaking contribution to street photography was to execute the meticulous compositions and precision lighting that is usually the domain of studio photography. In this work, "American Flag on New York City Bus", Funk elevates his distinctive style to a perfect artistic statement - where every pictorial element is in perfect harmony. The notion of capturing the "The Decisive Moment" still exists but as defined by Funk This archival color photograph by fine art photographer Mitchell Funk is signed, dated and numbered 2/15, lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph is unframed and printed later.

New York #6 by Jacob Gils - American Flag
Located in Chicago, IL
New York #6 (2019) Size: 21 7/10 x 43 3/10 inches / Edition of 6 Size: 35 2/5 x 70 9/10 inches / Edition of 5 Size: 49 1/5 x 98 2/5 inches / Edition of 1 New York #6 is from the Artist's "Movement City" collection. Movement is a series which combines a strong aesthetic point of view with meticulous attention to technical detail. As the title indicates, the series is concerned with giving shape to temporal and spatial aspects inherent in all visual experience. "At first glance, these multi-point visual puzzles appear out of focus or shaken , but in fact they consist of many different and very sharp photographs of the same motif. They are carefully combined through multiple exposures, resulting in a dynamic illusion of being on-the-go. My fascination with multiple exposures began in the 1980's. In my work with analogue photography, multiple exposures would occur accidentally from time to time. Quite often, I found the visual results of these accidents to be both aesthetically fascinating and enigmatic. It is this fascination that continues to inform my work in Movement". - Jacob Gils...
