About the Item
A worker using industrial paint to repair street asphalt inadvertently creates street art. It wasn't his intention to make an artistic statement as he painted 4 yellow rectangles of relatively equal measure onto a New York City streetscape. His was a purposeful utilitarian effort. From a high vantage point, the eye of art photographer Mitchell Funk recognized it as artful. The four yellow Rothko-like rectangles combined with the 5 painted white lines and the letter and numbers incised into the steel plates unified the composition. Yet Mitchell Funk did not think that this utilitarian street art would translate into great photography. So, he waited. Two hot colored umbrellas walked into frame to punctuate the image. Funk snapped it at the perfect moment creating a masterful image of literal street art,
Signed dated and numbered 3/15 lower right recto, other sizes available, unframed. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
