About the Item
Robert Funk’s photographs of elaborate landscaping redefine what Street Art is. Street Art abounds in on every corner. Palm Beach is Hedge Heaven with some of the most beautifully manicured streets in the United States. Hedge Fun - Palm Beach - Captures what Slim Arrons forgot. This stretch of dirt and sand in Palm Beach is called Billionaires Row.
Around every corner, the shrubs of the Rich and Famous are on full display in Palm Beach. Hedge Fun is a series that celebrates the landscaping commissioned by well-heeled homeowners, high-end condos and ritzy commercial establishments. Shrubs, bushes and trees are transformed from organic shapes into manmade graphics. They become stripped of surrounding detail to the point that they become abstract in their impact. On any given day in South Florida, there is an army of landscaping trucks with gardeners and groundsmen working meticulously to beautify the streetscape. I am interpreting their creations with the camera. - Before there was Robert Smithson, Richard Long, Carl Andre and Donald Judd there were artists that preceded them in making minimalist earthworks sculpture. They are been around for millennia. In recent times, there are referred to as Landscapers. Their material of choice is Living Plants. More specifically Boxwood but also Privet, Hawthorn, Beech, Yew, Leyland Cypress, Hemlock, Arborvitae, Barberry, Holly, Oleander, and Lavender. I salute them all and the living art they make and cultivate.
Shot with a Hi-res 36 megapixel camera which yields beautiful detail. Robert Funk is a photographer and New York advertising art director for Print and TV. He was widely published in the 1970's and 1980's. Signed, dated and numbered 3/15 recto, unframed, other sizes available. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper

- Seascape VI - large format photograph of cloudscape horizon and endless seaBy Frank SchottLocated in San Francisco, CASEASCAPE VI by Frank Schott 72.5 x 58 inches / 184cm x 147cm signed edition of 7 60 x 48 inches / 152cm x 122cm signed edition of 7 archival quality fine art pigment print limited art edition published by Edition EKTAlux artist signed + numbered certificate of authenticity Frank Schott grew up in Germany and attended the prestigious Academy of Arts in Cologne, studying under Professor Arno Jansen, who was an early influence. Moving to California in 1998, Schott's work has evolved to include the epic landscapes of the American West as well as architectural, conceptual and more formal environments from both home and his travels. Influenced by a number of photographic piers and precursors such as Candida Höfer, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, Hiroshi Sugimoto, William Eggleston and Joel Sternfeld, Schott's images successfully blend technical, conceptual and formal rigor with a decisive sense of composition and color. Schott's images have an iconic sensibility and give us a bird's eye view onto humanity and its constructs. The specific is edged towards the abstract, often revealing the compelling and disjunctive moment where nature meets man. Frank Schott was born in Cologne, Germany in 1962. He currently lives and works in San Francisco. ________________________ Edition EKTAlux offers an evolving curated selection of collectable large-scale photography in strictly limited editions, while working closely with each artist to guarantee state-of-the-art museum level print and framing quality.
