Chrysler Building Blue Zoom, New York Skyline, Abstract Photography

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
With an upward zoom and a slow exposure, Photographer Mitchell Funk reimagines one of the world's most iconic landmarks. The photograph is a lyrical evocation of a normally cold street scene featuring a dual light source. From the late 1960s, Funk redefined color photography. In 1978, this blur zoom was a radical concept at the time since Color Photography was not considered fine art.
To Funk, it was all about experimenting with innovative color and design and skillfully organizing pictorial space.

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. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
