"Burk Uzzle" is a 1975 photographic portrait by Mike Mandel, part of his "Card Series". The series, printed on card stock, mimics the format of baseball cards and presents various cultural figures in a standardized and casual style. The black and white image depicts Burk Uzzle, an American photographer, wearing a New York Yankees cap and glasses, leaning against a filing cabinet. This work is an example of Conceptual art, utilizing the familiar format of the trading card to explore themes of celebrity and representation.
