Chrysler Building Spire in Gold Light. Art Deco Architecture

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
This close-up of the Chrysler Building Spire in gold light was taken from the roof of a building on 38th Street. Its position gave Photographer Mitchell Funk a perfect line of sight to celebrate the spire's brilliant Art Deco design and sumptuous colors. The cropping of the image walks the razor's edge between abstraction and representation. A setting sun provides a perfect background of warm ochres and soft magentas that seamlessly weaves together the patterns of architecture and nature.
