About the Item
In this deliberately out-of-focus 1979 photograph of the New York skyline from Weehawken, Mitchell Funk captures the dynamic urban energy of Mid-Town Manhattan through the expressive qualities of light. In doing so, he simultaneously records the indistinct scene with two light sources. Late afternoon, golden light bounces off shiny facades while the street and building lights begin to glow in the twilight. With no central point of focus, Funk creates a semi-abstract pattern of colorful, shimmering circles and pulsating rectangles with a hint of detail. The spire of the Chrysler Building is reduced to a series of stacked circles, yet it is identifiable. This view of the Mid-Town Manhattan is not available today due to a swell of high rise construction that transformed the look of the city.
