Mitchell Funk
Wherever You Look You See The Chrysler Building: Upper East Side

1974

About the Item

Perched atop a York Avenue highrise, Photographer Mitchell Funk captures an early morning winter vista of Manhattan. To the right of a big puff of smoke and to the right of the Twin Towers, you will find the Chrysler Building rising above it all. Isolated against a magenta sky, the Chrysler Building spire resembles a 1950s rocket ship more than an icon of 1930s Art Deco architecture. The image was taken in 1974 before the rapid development of Manhattan. Today, this view is radically different and the view of the Chrysler Building is obscured. The uploaded video on 1stDibs is coming up a bit off color.

'Sombras Doradas (5)' Large Scale Photo, Desert Silhouette Sunset Yellow Gold
By Sophia Milligan
Located in Penzance, GB
'Sombras Doradas (2)' Limited edition archival photograph. Unframed, hand signed and numbered _________________ Shadows painted on the finca wall: low December sun, golden, luminous, casting soft silhouettes through the aperture of the Eucalyptus leaves. Sophia's poetic photographs are an exploration of the balance in all things: in the sensual interplay of light and shadow; in wild raw energy and serene stillness; in the enduring and the effervescent. They are a contemplation of the awareness that everything in existence is temporary, they speak of the ephemeral nature of all things. Moments, feelings, experiences cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where the beauty comes from. 'I work with time, and the immeasurable spaces of experience within... tangible traces, evidence left behind, records; process in action, stilled'. 40 x 60 inches Limited edition of 25 Archival Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® paper, one of the most beautiful and high quality art papers available. The luxurious matt finish provides a reflection free image that is rich in detail, depth and tone. Hand signed, titled and numbered to the lower right corner on an approximately 1 inch white border. Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity featuring a signature and edition number. Other sizes available, please contact * Please note that images of the artwork in situ and framed are an indication of how the piece can look, and in the context of other artworks. The artwork is being sold unframed. Framing options are available, please contact.
