William Eggleston: The Last Dyes

William Eggleston: The Last Dyes is a major new collection from one of photography’s most revolutionary and influential figures — the man who legitimised colour photography as a fine art medium and whose images of the American South transformed how we see the ordinary. Featuring recently discovered works from Eggleston’s dye-transfer archive — the process that gives his prints their extraordinary chromatic intensity — this volume presents photographs that have never before been widely seen, alongside newly printed versions of iconic images. Published by Gagosian and edited with Jeffrey Fraenkel, The Last Dyes is both a significant addition to the Eggleston literature and a beautiful object in its own right. Essential for photography enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone interested in the history of colour in twentieth-century visual art.
