Chrysler Building, Jewel - Like Art Deco Gold Crown

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
The metallic crown of the Chrysler Building reflects the golden light of sunset, giving it a jewel-like appearance. It's as if an elegant woman could wear it on her wrist. Horizontal bands of clouds complement the curvilinear forms of the crown, making this a perfect visual statement.

The image is part of a new epic exhibition, Mitchell Funk Photographs The Chrysler Building for 50 Years. In the lower right corner, between the silhouetted Empire State Building and the tower of the Brooklyn Bridge, you will see the shape of the Chrysler Building's crown and spire. In 1970, "Wherever You Look, You See The Chrysler Building" even from Brooklyn Heights.
The Chrysler Building is one of the most photographed buildings in the world. Yet Mitchell Funk's photographs of it are anything but a tourist snapshot. For 50 years, Funk has been celebrating and rediscovering it visually in a way that exemplifies the innovative spirit of its creators.
The work is signed dated and numbered 3/15 lower right recto, with other sizes available, 43 x 29, and it's unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
