Chrysler Building in Multiple Exposure of Blue and Magenta

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
The Chrysler Building may be one of the most photographed buildings in the world, yet Mitchell Funk imagines it unlike any tourist snapshot. This colorful kaleidoscope-like image was created in a pre-digital, pre-Photoshop world by taking one picture, rewinding the film, and then taking another on the same piece of 35mm emulsion. In a sense, it's a little movie in a still image. In-camera, on-the-spot multiple exposures on color film were a recurrent element in Funk's iconography. He pioneered this inventive style in 1970.
Signed, dated and numbered 2/15, lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph is unframed and printed later on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta paper .
