About the Item

The New New York Skyline with Chrysler Building is depicted in shimmering sliver light and set against a deep cobalt blue sky. It incorporates the newly constructed supertalls: One Vanderbilt, The New Chase Headquarters, and 432 Park Avenue. They are lined up in a row, facing the viewer with the iconic Chrysler Building proudly anchoring the right flank. There have been many color photographs of the New York skyline, but this powerfully lit and high-impact image by Mitchell Funk dazzles the eye and engages the mind more than any on record. Punctuating the graphic design of edifices is a streaking plane that cuts across the composition with a strong diagonal. To view it better on 1stDibs click on the thumbnail and view the expanded version. Signed, dated and numbered 3/15 lower right recto. The work is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper . Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed at the same time? Mitchell Funk says yes. He brings finely honed photography skills such as composition, intense lighting and design to found subject matter. Mitchell Funk brings the compositional precision of studio photography to street photography. Unlike most street photographers, Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian. For the last 55 years, Mitchell Funk has endlessly explored the relationship of light, color and shape. These interactions have become the central pursuit of the artist. Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of "Color Photography" In 1970 he participated in one the first "Color Photography" shows at a major museum. Brooklyn Museum, show "Images en Couleur". 1971 Included he was included in the visionary book "Frontiers of Photography" Time Life. Color! American Photography Transformed. Amon Carter Museum.
