About the Item

Pioneering Color Photographer Mitchell Funk experiments with multiple in-camera exposures of the Chrysler Building, producing a triumph of color and design in motion. No less than twenty-five semi-silhouetted Chrysler Buildings veiled in vibrant magenta, shimmering viridian green, and glowing yellow dance together in a rhythmic circle. The image was done on Kodachrome before the digital age, which makes it an impressive accomplishment. Funk has dazzled the viewer's eyes with abstract color photography since 1970. This slightly later version is part of his new epic exhibition, Mitchell Funk Photographs The Chrysler Building for 50 Years. The Chrysler Building is one of the most photographed buildings in the world. Yet Mitchell Funk's photographs of it are anything but a tourist snapshot. For 50 years, Funk has been celebrating and rediscovering it visually in a way that exemplifies the innovative spirit of its creators. The work is signed dated and numbered 3/15 lower right recto, with other sizes available, and it's unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper The uploaded video on 1stDibs is coming up a bit off color.
