About the Item
A recurring motif in Mitchell Funk's work is the inclusion of an oversized moon. It signifies a celestial presence. This work, "Yellow Moon Over Manhattan," is an early example, but if one examines his full oeuvre, one will see that the big moon's presence anchors many of his landscapes from the late 1960s to 2024. What is particularly notable about this work is its simplicity of design and color relationships. The pale yellow hue of the moon counterbalances a kiss orange light that reflects off Grant's facade as both are integrated into a cerulean blue background. As with all of Funk's work, he is not just interested in recording objective reality. Instead he pushes color and changes form for expressive purposes.
That being said, time tends to dilute the impact of innovation and experimentation. This work was created over 50 years ago and imploys the use of incamera multiple exposure. The skyline was shot at sunset and later that evening Funk changed to a 800mm lens and photographed the yellow moon. He then double exposed it into position on the same 35mm frame of Kodachrome as the skyline.
