Description
Wherever You Look, You See The Chrysler Building: Lower East Side.
Beyond a 19th-century vermilion brick facade and standing proud and tall in a hazy New York City sky, we see The Chrysler Building's glimmering stainless steel crown. Whether the building is close up or in the distance, its distinctive Art Deco shape defines the skyline.
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. They are carefully crafted and inventive depictions. For 50 years, Funk has been celebrating and rediscovering it visually in a way that exemplifies the innovative spirit of its creators.
The image is part of a new epic exhibition, Mitchell Funk Photographs The Chrysler Building for 50 Years.
The work is signed dated and numbered 3/15 lower right recto, with other sizes available, 40 x 60 and it's unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
