About the Item

With an upward zoom and a slow exposure, Photographer Mitchell Funk reimagines one of the world's most iconic landmarks. The photograph is a lyrical evocation of a normally cold street scene featuring a dual light source. From the late 1960s, Funk redefined color photography. In 1978, this blur zoom was a radical concept at the time since Color Photography was not considered fine art. To Funk, it was all about experimenting with innovation of color and design and a skillful organization of pictorial space. The video image is coming up off color than it acutally is. Refer to the still images. 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. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of " Color Photography" In 1970 he participated in one the first " Color Photography" shows at a major museum. Brooklyn Museum, show "Images en Couleur" . 1971 Included he was included in the visionary book "Frontiers of Photography" Time Life. Color ! American Photography Transformed. Amon Carter Museum.
