Chrysler Building Spire With Abstract Architectural Patterns

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Seen through two surrounding buildings, the Chrysler Building's spire emerges as a cool blue Art Deco statement. Photographer Mitchell Funk selects a precise angle so that the photograph is a document of New York's iconic spire done uniquely. It is also a minimalist study of the interaction of abstract architectural patterns with harmonious negative and positive spaces. With a white sky, Funk captures the ephemeral nature of light as it plays off the glass, steel, and brick facades to create a stunning and unexpected New York City visual.

Signed, dated and numbered 3/15 lower right recto. Other sizes are available. The work is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper 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.
