William Eggleston's Guide

William Eggleston

Overview

This publication accompanied the first solo exhibition of color photographs at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. The book and show presented color photography as a serious medium, challenging the art world's perception at the time. It features a refined examination of vernacular subjects, including people, landscapes, and candid moments captured in and around Eggleston's hometown of Memphis. The photographs display a deceptively casual yet highly refined aesthetic.
