Wherever You Look You See The Chrysler Building: Park Avenue

1971

About the Item

A giant moon is unexpectedly pictured resting between two skyscrapers on Park Avenue. This image was done as an assignment for a Business Week cover. The editors wanted a high-drama visual that supported their equally consequential cover story. They hired a young 21-year-old to reimagine the image of corporate America. Fifty-four years later, the image is equally powerful and fits into Photographer Mitchell Funk's current exhibition, "Wherever You Look, You See The Chrysler Building." Among the hard-edge graphic shapes of adjacent skyscrapers, the viewer sees the curvilinear Art Deco spire as it gracefully points upward. Signed dated and numbered 2/15 lower right recto, other sizes available, printed later, unframed. This work is printed on fine art Hahnemuhle paper. The color will vary from monitor to monitor. 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.

Moving to California in 1998, Schott's work has evolved to include the epic landscapes and deserts of the American West as well as architectural, conceptual and more formal environments from both home and his travels. Influenced by a number of photographic peers and precursors such as Candida Höfer, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, Michael Wolf, Gregory Crewdson, William Eggleston and Joel Sternfeld, Schott's images successfully blend technical, conceptual and formal rigor with a decisive sense of composition and color. Schott's images have an iconic sensibility and give us a bird's eye view onto humanity and its constructs. The specific is edged towards the abstract, often revealing the compelling and disjunctive moment where nature meets man. Frank Schott was born in Cologne, Germany in 1962. He currently lives and works in San Francisco...
