About the Item
Like William Eggleston, Mitchell Funk is an early trailblazer of color photography with unexpected images created in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This image shows a close-up of a mailbox painted in primary colors that complement and contrast its surroundings. Yet Funk carves out his unique brand of color photography that emphasizes strong directional light and bold, punchy colors.
Signed, dated and numbered 3/15, lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper

Modern Photography Cover, Surreal Landscape
By Mitchell Funk
Located in Miami, FL
Historically , newsstand magazines have used a standard set of practices when it came to choosing their cover image. Their goal was to use an image that people could instantly relate to. The idea being, if an image pops off the page it will attract more attention and then generate more newsstand sales.
