Published on the occasion of the 2001 exhibition William Eggleston, curated by Hervé Chandès, at the Fondation Cartier. One of the very best monographs published of Eggleston's work. (Antiq. Borrelli, 2005). - From the publisher: "Born in 1939 in Memphis, Tennessee, where he still lives, William Eggleston is widely considered one of America's most important photographers. His 1976 one-man exhibition, Photographs by William Eggleston, at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, marked a turning point in the history of photography: this was when colour photography gained recognition as a medium of artistic expression. His intense, dramatic use of colour and 'democratic' approach to mundane subject matter continue to have an enormous impact on contemporary photographic practice. Published to accompany the exhibition at the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, this volume brings together Eggleston's most significant works, from his first experiments in black and white to a series of photographs of Kyoto produced specifically for this exhibit. Drawing on public and private collections in Europe and the United States, this book contains vintage prints executed in the technique most characteristic of his work, the dye transfer process, as well as many lesser-known and previously unseen photographs. From Mississippi to Berlin, Kenya to Asia, Eggleston has tirelessly explored the wider world, transforming, through his camera, the ordinary into the extraordinary."

“ Widely respected for his stunningly astute observations of dogs ( more speci fically, of the majestic Weimaraner), William Wegman once again dazzles with puppies. Here Wegman chronicles three generations of Weimaraners with his insightful commentary and exceptional photography. Wegman's love for his dogs is expressed in every photograph and in every line of his awe-filled text. Speaking about his second Weimaraner, Fay, the author says, "She looked like she had wandered out of a Rousseau painting. Those luminous yellow eyes." Fay's radiance inspired Wegman to greater creative depths: he began dressin g her up to appear almost human, a common theme in his photographs. Fay starred in many Wegman titles, including ABC and Cinderella. It is Fay's children, and later her grandchildren, who take the center stage in William Wegman's Puppies. Wegman's photographs are, as always, astonishing, capturing t he beauty and individualism of each puppy. He labels his photographs with humorous bylines: a puppy sitting in a planter is labeled "Pup Pot." The exceptional physique of the Weimaraner becomes more pronounced as the puppies grow; at two weeks, the puppies are almost extraterrestrial in appearance, with large ears and wrinkled skins. But they are still exquisite, and the photos capture every expression and posture. Wegman has the utmost respect for his dogs, and his subjects are in turn fully content and relaxed in the presence of their photographer. Wegman has the ability to draw us exception ally close to his dogs, and this wonderful collection.” (Antiq. 02.2005).

Text engl. - „Anfang der 1970er Jahre begann William Eggleston bevorzugt und vor allem in der Porträtfotografie mit einer 5 x 7 inch Großformatkamera zu arbeiten. Einige dieser Portrtaits sind 1973 in einem Nachtklub entstanden, bei wenig Licht also, so dass Eggleston es gegen seine Gewohnheit vorzog, überwiegend in Schwarzweiß zu arbeiten. Die Aufnahmen sind präzise und detailreich wie es sich für Großformatfotografien gehört und sind im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ungeschminkt.“ (Buchh. Lindemann Stuttgart 03.2007). - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 03.3007.
