Mitchell Funk
Chrysler Building Spire With Abstract Architectural Patterns

2017

About the Item

Seen through two surrounding buildings, the Chrysler Building's spire emerges as a cool blue Art Deco statement. Photographer Mitchell Funk selects a precise angle so that the photograph is a document of New York's iconic spire done uniquely. It is also a minimalist study of the interaction of abstract architectural patterns with harmonious negative and positive spaces. With a white sky, Funk captures the ephemeral nature of light as it plays off the glass, steel, and brick facades to create a stunning and unexpected New York City visual. . Signed, dated and numbered 3/15 lower right recto. Other sizes are available. The work is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed at the same time? Mitchell Funk says yes. He brings finely honed photography skills such as composition, intense lighting and design to found subject matter. Mitchell Funk brings the compositional precision of studio photography to street photography. Unlike most street photographers, Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian. For the last 50 years, Mitchell Funk has endlessly explored the relationship of light, color and shape. These interactions have become the central pursuit of the artist. 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.
