Description: (no dust jacket, as issued) [nice clean copy with no discernible wear]. (color photographs) Monograph issued in conjunction with the first major exhibition of the work of this modern master of photography, usually acknowledged as the man who put color photography on the map, as it were, artistically. Some initial criticism of his work focused on the fact that his subject matter was often quite mundane -- to which writer/ photographer Eudora Welty had the best riposte: "No subject is fuller of implications than the mundane world!"

Description: 4to. 110 pp. 48 color photographs and one black-and-white portrait of Eggleston. Original black bonded leather with gilt-stamped spine and cover onlay. A fine copy. FIRST EDITION (no date on the title-page; copyright page dated only 1976). Issued as the companion to Eggleston's seminal 1976 exhibition at MoMA, a landmark in the history of photography. "I once heard William Eggleston say that the nominal subjects of his pictures were no more than a pretext for the making of color photographs-the Degas position. I did not believe him, although I can believe that it might be an advantage to think so, or to pretend to think so. To me it seems that the pictures reproduced here are about the photographer's home, about his place, in both important meanings of that word. One might say about his identity" (John Szarkowski, pp. 5-6). "As pictures . these seem to me perfect: irreducible surrogates for the experience they pretend to record, visual analogues for the quality of one life, collectively a paradigm of a private view, a view one would have thought ineffable, described here with clarity, fulness, and elegance" (ibid., p. 14).

Description: First edition; 8vo (228 × 228 mm, 9 x 9 in); colour photographs and a black-and-white portrait of Eggleston; blue endpapers, minor fading to edges, black leatherette-covered boards, spine and upper side lettered in gold, colour photographic reproduction mounted on upper side, light shelfwear, slightly cocked, an excellent copy; 110, [2]pp. The adoption of colour photography, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, by William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, and others was not without precedent: interesting work had already been done in this medium by numerous photographers, including Paul Outerbridge in the thirties, and Keld-Helmer Petersen in the forties. Nonetheless, perhaps because of its commercial associations, colour photography had been slow to find acceptance in the art world. Eggleston's solo exhibition in 1976 had the distinction of being the first exhibition of colour photography at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. As such, it and this catalogue which accompanied it are often credited with legitimatising colour photography for the serious American museum-attending audience. Szarkowski noted Eggleston's 'ability to monumentalize the minutiae of mundane life' and boldly declared that 'as pictures, these seem to me to be perfect.' To which New York Times art critic Hilton Kramer responded, 'Perfect? Perfectly banal, perhaps. Perfectly boring, certainly.'

Essay by John Szarkowski. This was the catalog for Eggleston's controversial show at the Museum of Modern Art, which was panned by many critics for its use of color.

They wrote that this show and book 'heralded the birth of colour photography, or more accurately, it marked the moment when it was perceived as artistically respectable.'
