Phil Perkis 1975

"Phil Perkis" is a 1975 photographic work by Mike Mandel. The image depicts a man wearing a New York Yankees cap and a plaid shirt, looking directly at the viewer. The photograph is a portrait from Mandel's "Baseball Cards" series, which used the conventions of baseball card design to present portraits of seemingly ordinary people, adding a touch of humor and satire to the genre. The work is considered part of conceptual art and is known for its minimalist aesthetic and clever appropriation of popular culture.
