About the Item

An unexpected pedestrian is caught walking across Park Avenue on a rainy day. We are not sure where he came from or where he is going, but he seems to be on a mission. The Astronaut's white spacesuit seems to echo the street's white horizontal traffic lines. Perhaps the Astronaut views the white lines as a ladder to something in outer space or perhaps it's just another highly individualist New Yorker on an eccentric stroll around the city. Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed at the same time? 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. This archival color photograph by fine art photographer Mitchell Funk is signed, dated and numbered 2/15, lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph is unframed and printed later.
