The Guggenheim Museum Reaches Out

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Museum in a car - The artsiest of art museums is artfully depicted in street photographer Mitchell Funk's imaginative photograph. A passing red car with similar curvilinear forms has the museum's facade reflected in its roof window. The Guggenheim is one of New York's most photographed tourist sites, but Funk's vision merges the familiar with the magical and surreal. For a brief instant, Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece leaves its esteemed physical location and puts its stamp on an unsuspecting driveby. Funk was right there and snapped the transference with his Nikon.
