About the Item

A stainless steel Eagle gargoyle jets out from the Chrysler Building's 31st floor exterior. They were designed to pay homage to the Plymouth hood ornament. They represent movement and flight, embodying the iconography of the machine age. It is set against a shimmering, yellow-gold sunset reflection from the adjacent Grand Hyatt Hotel facade. What is unexpected about the photo is the arresting color relationships. The image is part of a new epic exhibition, Mitchell Funk Photographs The Chrysler Building for 50 Years. The Chrysler Building is one of the most photographed buildings in the world. Yet Mitchell Funk's photographs of it are anything but a tourist snapshot. For over 50 years, Funk has been celebrating and rediscovering it visually in a way that exemplifies the innovative spirit of its creators. The work is signed dated and numbered 3/15 lower right recto, with other sizes available, and it's unframed and printed later.
