Chrysler Building in Bathed Sliver and Grey Light

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
A moody silver and grey light caresses the Chrysler Building while subtle highlights shimmer off the glass facades that frame it. Photographer Mitchell Funk specializes in creating drama out of the ordinary. It's all about knowing the right place and waiting for the right light at the right time. The present work is a stellar example of Funk transforming familiar subject matter into a uniquely aesthetic one.

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 over 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 in the lower right recto corner, with other sizes available. It is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
