About the Item
New York Photographer Mithcell Funk creates an image with a broad expanse of mostly flat magenta. His representation of space is flat and simplified. In the center of the picture plane is an old silhouetted Staten Island Ferry going one way and just behind it is an old silhouetted cruise ship going the other way.
The trailblazing image was shot in 1971. It pushes the boundaries of color photography making it a historically important color photograph. Funk's color does not follow nature. He uses color as an expression of emotion and beauty. The image is a push towards abstraction but still rooted in representation. It was taken 51 years ago and still seems very contemporary. Signed dated and numbered 4/15 lower right recto, printed later, other sizes available, unframed, printed later. This work is printed on fine art Hahnemuhle paper.

Neal Slavin, a native New Yorker, began photographing groups in 1972. He quickly realized that shooting in color yielded greater nuance and detail, placing him among the first generation of photographers, along with William Eggleston and Joel Meyerowitz, to fully embrace color.
Over the past four decades, Slavin has recorded hundreds of groups from the most obscure to the most celebrated, both in the US and abroad: Sabrett Hot Dog vendors, NYC; The Silurian Border Morris Men, Herefordshire; the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Salt Lake City; Elephant Keepers with Katie and Kumara, Bedfordshire; and the Mahayana Buddhist Service, NYC.
He has published three books: “Portugal” (Lustrum Press, 1971), “When Two or More Are Gathered Together” (Farrar Straus Giroux, 1974); and “Britons” (Aperture, 1986). His prints have been acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the International Center of Photography (ICP), New York; the National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of American Art, Washington, DC; the National Media Museum, London; and the John Paul Getty...
