Wherever You Look, You See The Chrysler Building: Lower Manhattan

Description
For over 50 years, Mitchell Funk has been renowned for creating images with hyper-lighting and compositional exactitude. The present image,
"Wherever You Look, You See The Chrysler Building: Lower Manhattan" fits that description and more. Here, Funk shoots the Manhattan skyline in a way that has never been seen before. The dramatic light of late afternoon reveals the skyline, making it almost abstract with alternating dark and light patterns. That drama echoed in an equally electrifying patterned sky.
The image is part of a new epic exhibition, Mitchell Funk Photographs The Chrysler Building for 50 Years.
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, and it's unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
