About the Item
Two Facades. Mickey's Place was Bar
/ Restaurant in Chelsea opposite the old West Side Highway. In this photograph, late afternoon light illuminates the old walk-up building giving it a golden glow. Pioneering Color Photographer Mitchell Funk wanted to take the image of the dive bar to another level, so he double-exposed an image of a mid-century mannequin over the top part of the picture. The face and facade seem to coalesce as both have this warm glowing color, but the juxtaposition of "Two Facades" has a deeper meaning. The image was created in 1974, a time in Art History when color photography was barely recognized as fine art.
Signed and dated on the lower right and numbered lower right, 3/15 Printed later, other sizes available, unframed - Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper.
