Description
Wherever you look, you see The Chrysler Building. Through the lens of Photographer Mitchell Funk, The 1991 Mid-Town Manhattan skyline is seen at sunset from Weehawken, New Jersey. Golden orange light explodes off the skyscraper's facades. Silhouetted figures in the foreground graphically echo the buildings they are gazing at. The Chrysler Building's pointy crown rises above its neighbors in the far right corner. The Mid-Town Manhattan skyline from Weehawken is one of the recurring themes in Funk's oeuvre. His level of experimentation with light and composition is wide-ranging and has changed as the skyline has changed.
