About the Item

A play of light envelopes the Upper East Side skyline of New York City and projects a feeling of fogginess. Photographer Mitchell Funk captures a moment when the atmosphere transmits an almost surreal quality to primarily residential buildings. It is a straight shot without any manipulation. Funk waited for the perfect moment as early morning light poped out on a cloudy day, and hence, we have an unexpected spotlight effect and shadow effect rarely seen in urban landscape photography. Funk has been documenting the effects on extreme light on the New York skyline since 1969. In 55 years, this is one his most original images. This image is signed, dated and numbered 2/15 lower right recto. Other sizes are available. The work is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed simultaneously? 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 50 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. He has had more than 50 Photography Magazine Covers and has had covers on Newsweek, Fortune, New York Magazine and Life Magazine among others.
