About the Item
A 1930s Art Deco icon is interpreted in the frenetic technique that recalls the Abstract Expressionist painters of the 1950s. As if he were painting with light, visionary photographer Mitchell Funk reduces the Chrysler Building to a silhouette composed of vertical lines surrounded by an overall field of yellow vertical lines. The image is almost completely abstract and flat, with only a few hints of representation
In an epic project titled "Mitchell Funk Photographs the Chrysler Building for 50 years," the present work is a stellar example of how Funk takes one of the most photographed world icons and represents it in a fresh and electrifying way.
