A groundbreaking collection that marked the first one-man show of color photographs at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. It revolutionized the perception of color photography and is considered one of the most important American photobooks. Published alongside the exhibition, this guide forced the art world to confront color photography and presented a refined look at Eggleston's surroundings in Memphis. The book features 48 images edited from 375 taken between 1969 and 1971, showcasing people, landscapes, and everyday moments in a distinctive, masterful use of color. This facsimile edition reproduces the original with new color separations to capture Eggleston's intentions. Show more
