Mitchell FunkIntoxicated Skid Row Bowery Homeless, Gritty Street Photography1969
1969
About the Item
Enter the Wood Chipper. Before the Bowery was a trendy destination, it was America's most famous Skid Row. Vagrant flophouses, 10-dollar prostitutes, dive bars, and what used to be referred to as "drunk bums" lined the streets. Taken in 1969, Street Photographer Mitchell Funk makes a statement by photographing only a part of a fallen soul as if only a half a person was left. One shoe is off, revealing a soiled black sock. The omnipresent brown paper bag that defined all drunks of that period and was their only worldly possession lies next to his leg. It reveals the faint outline of a cheap pint of booze. What's most notable is the subject's overall pose. He seems to have collapsed. Facedown, he lies like a giant hardwood razed and ready to be disposed of.

By Robert Funk
Located in Miami, FL
The big bird is a painting. I painted it. It's oil on canvas. I mounted it on plywood and silhouetted it with a jigsaw. I took the silhouetted bird with me on the subway. We each had our own seat on the trip Brooklyn to the Bronx
The station has changed. In a google stock image photo, you can see the geniuses have destroyed the beautiful character of the station. The early 20th-century signage and lighting fixtures have been changed by soulless and cheap looking replacements.
