Mitchell Funk
Red Brick Factory Long Island City with Empire State Building in Manhattan

1974

About the Item

Mitchell Funk's photograph of a Red Brick Factory in Long Island City is as much about color-field theory as it is a document of a brightly painted factory facade. Additionally, Funk's composition is about balance and exactitude. Finally, the date this was taken is also significant. In 1974, there was little to no consideration of color photography in the Fine Art world . Since the late 1960s, Funk has rejected the black-and-white orientation of contemporary photography. As a result, we have trailblazing color photographs like "Red Brick Factory in Long Island City" that looks fresh and state-of-the-art fifty years after it was taken. Notice the only building that stands out in mid-town Manhattan is the Empire State Building. The other skyscrapers that define mid-town Manhattan today were not build yet. The uploaded video is coming up light - use the still images as a reference for color. Signed and dated on lower right, numbered on verso Edition 3 of 15. Unframed.
