Robert Funk
Hedge Fun - Billionaires Row - Palm Beach - How the Rich do Street Art

2021

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, printed later other sizes available. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
