Most cities have a chaotic visual schema. However, through the lens of veteran Street Photographer Mitchell Funk, anarchy becomes order. In the present work, "Statue of Liberty on a Truck," Funk captures a tableau of colorful horizontal bands on an Upper East Side building. A parked Pepsi truck anchors the banding pattern. In the lower right quadrant, Funk snaps a passing silhouetted Statue of Liberty graphic to fit perfectly into the architectonic composition. Its presence not only forms a stunning urban photograph, but the placement of the Statue of Liberty on a city street is unexpected. br The uploaded video on 1stDibs is coming up a bit off color.
