About the Item
The ethereal neon sign of a Miami Beach classic glows at night. Customers of Wolfie's Restaurant are seen through a window, while a backlit bus stop lightbox illuminates a single man in the foreground and becomes silhouetted. Compositionally, street photographer Mitchell Funk weaves signage and people together with the silhouetted man as the center of focus. The whole scene seems imbued with an urban, nocturnal tropical vibe.
Signed, dated and numbered 2/15, lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
