Empire State Building Bathed in Luminous Golden Light, 1970s

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Golden late afternoon light bathes the majestic Empire State Building in luminous color as it pierces a dramatic sky. This image is not only stunning in its visual beauty but also a document of what Midtown Manhattan looked like in 1971. There are virtually no high rises competing with the iconic towing structure. It evokes almost a spiritual reaction, as it acts as a lighting rod to the heavens.
