Eggleston, William: Before Color. ; sig.; 1. Ed.
Steidl, Göttingen. 2010. First edition, first printing. Signed by William Eggleston! New, mint, unread; only opened once for signature. Hardcover with yellow imitation leather, with a tipped in photo. 225 x 255 mm. 200 pages. 152 quadratone plates. Edited by Chris Burnside, John Cheim, Howard Read, Thomas Weski together with the Eggleston Artistic Trust. With an Essay by Dave Hickey. "A few years ago in the archives of the William Eggleston Artistic Trust in Memphis, a box was found containing Eggleston's earliest photography" remarkably in black and white. The photos were subsequently exhibited at Cheim & Read gallery in New York and sold. This book reunites these photos in their entirety, and shows the artistic beginnings of a pioneer of contemporary photography. In the late 1950s Eggleston began photographing suburban Memphis using high-speed 35 mm black and white film, developing the style and motifs that would come to shape his pivotal colour work including diners, supermarkets, domestic interiors and people engaged in seemingly trivial and banal situations. Now, fifty years later, all the plates in Before Color have been scanned from vintage prints developed by Eggleston in his own darkroom. In the mid 1960s Eggleston discovered colour film and was quickly satisfied with the results: "And by God, it worked. Just overnight." Eggleston then abandoned black and white photography, but its fundamental influence on his practice is undeniable." (from the publisher) William Eggleston, born in 1939 in Memphis, is one of the most important contemporary American photographers. From the 1970s onwards, his work has significantly contributed to the recognition of color photography as an artistic medium. Eggleston has published his work extensively, and it has been shown in many major exhibitions around the world. He continues to live and work in Memphis, and travels considerably for photographic projects. Signed!***************Steidl, Göttingen. 2010. Erstausgabe. Originalausgabe.

Eggleston, William: William Eggleston - Paris. ; 1. Ed.
Steidl, Göttingen. 2009. First edition, first printing. New, mint, unread. Eggleston is famous for "Guide" (Andrew Roth, Book of 101 Books, page 234/235. Martin Parr , The Photobook , vol 1, page 265). Clothbound hardcover with a tipped-in photo. 220 x 280 mm. 184 pages. With 70 colour photographs and 50 drawings. Co-published with the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain. In response to an invitation from the Fondation Cartier, William Eggleston has spent three years working on a major photography project on Paris. This series of photographs shows the city's many facets: picturesque and cosmopolitan, sublime and vulgar, humdrum and extraordinary. Harking back to a long tradition in which grand masters of photography such as Eugene Atget and Henri Cartier-Bresson chose this city as their subject, Eggleston engages in a dialogue with his predecessors via the unique photographic style for which he is well known. Published on the occasion of his exhibition at the Fondation Cartier, the publication takes the form of a workbook and places his photographs next to the drawings inspired by them. Presented to the public for the first time, these pieces offer a unique insight into the creative process behind Eggleston's work."

Neu, ungelesen, verlagsfrisch; noch original-verschweißt in der Plastikfolie des Verlags. Eggleston ist berühmt für "Guide" (Andrew Roth, Book of 101 Books, Seite 234/235. Martin Parr , The Photobook , vol 1, Seite 265). Hardcover ohne Schutzumschlag (nur so erschienen). Hardcover ohne Umschlag (nur so erschienen) mit einem eingelassenen Foto. 220 x 280 mm. 184 Seiten. Mit 70 Farbfotos und 50 Zeichnungen. Co-publiziert mit der Fondation Cartier für zeitgenössische Kunst. Im Auftrag der Fondation Cartier fotografierte William Eggleston die vielen Facetten der französischen Hauptstadt Paris. Seine Bilder folgen den Traditionen seiner Vorbilder und treten in einen Dialog mit der Straßenfotografie von Eugene Atget oder Henri Cartier-Bresson ohne den Stil zu vernachlässigen, für den Eggleston bekannt wurde. Dieser auf hochwertigem Papier gedruckte und in einem wunderschönen schwarzen Seideneinband gebundene Band zeigt neben der vollständigen Serie an Fotografien auch zuvor noch nie veröffentlichte Zeichnungen Egglestons. Eggleston, geboren 1937 in Memphis, Tennessee, gilt seit seiner spektakulären Einzelausstellung im "Museum of Modern Art", New York (1976) als der Erfinder der Farbfotografie. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Fotografen setzt er die Farbe gezielt ein, um Gefühle beim Betrachter zu wecken, und weniger, um seine Bildgegenstände minutiös zu beschreiben.
