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 Mithcell Funk makes a statement by photographing only a part of a fallen soul. 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.
Signed, dated and numbered 2/15 lower right, , Printed later, other size available, unframed - Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper.
