Robert Funk
Hedge Fun - Hibiscus Island - Miami Beach - Street Art from the Wealthy. Red

2020

About the Item

Robert Funk’s photographs of elaborate landscaping redefine what Street Art is. On ultra-exclusive Hibiscus Island, Street Art made the Rich abounds. It's an unspoken requirement to fashions your shrubs in an artful way or face scorn from the neighbors. Hedge Fun is a series that celebrates the landscaping commissioned by well-heeled homeowners, high-end condos and ritzy commercial establishments. Shrubs, bushes and trees are transformed from organic shapes into manmade graphics. They become stripped of surrounding details to the point that they become abstract in their impact. On any given day in South Florida, there is an army of landscaping trucks with gardeners and groundsmen working meticulously to beautify the streetscape. I am interpreting their creations with the camera. Before there were Robert Smithson, Richard Long, Carl Andre, and Donald Judd, there were artists that preceded them in making minimalist earthworks sculpture. They are been around for millennia. In recent times, they are referred to as Landscapers. Their material of choice is living plants. More specifically, Boxwood, Privet, Hawthorn, Beech, Yew, Leyland Cypress, Hemlock, Arborvitae, Barberry, Holly, Oleander, and Lavender. I salute them all and the living art they make and cultivate. Shot with a Hi-res 36-megapixel camera which yields beautiful detail. Robert Funk is a photographer and New York advertising art director for Print and TV. He was widely published in the 1970's and 1980's. Signed, dated and numbered 2/15 recto, unframed, other sizes available, printed later, - Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper

    By Frank Schott
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    Marfa ( Judd ) by Frank Schott Donald Judd's art studio, from a series of impressions captured in Marfa, Texas 48 x 72 inches / 122cm x 183m edition of 7 signed 27 x 40 inches / 68cm x 102cm edition of 25 signed archival quality fine art pigment print limited art edition published by Edition EKTAlux artist signed + numbered certificate of authenticity ________________________ Frank Schott grew up in Germany and attended the prestigious Academy of Arts in Cologne, studying under Professor Arno Jansen, who was an early influence. Moving to California in 1998, Schott's work has evolved to include the epic landscapes and deserts of the American West as well as architectural, conceptual and more formal environments from both home and his travels. Influenced by a number of photographic peers and precursors such as Candida Höfer, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, Michael Wolf, Gregory Crewdson, William Eggleston and Joel Sternfeld, Schott's images successfully blend technical, conceptual and formal rigor with a decisive sense of composition and color. Schott's images have an iconic sensibility and give us a bird's eye view onto humanity and its constructs. The specific is edged towards the abstract, often revealing the compelling and disjunctive moment where nature meets man. Frank Schott was born in Cologne, Germany in 1962. He currently lives and works in San Francisco...
