William Eggleston

On view at David Zwirner is an exhibition of photographs from the 1970s by American photographer William Eggleston. Pioneer of color photography, the artist has established a singular pictorial style, combining vernacular subject matter with an innate and sophisticated understanding of color, form, and composition. Eggleston’s photographs transform the ordinary into distinctive, poetic images that eschew fixed meaning. Capturing the storefronts, restaurants, homes, cars, and people of the cities, towns, and settings to which he traveled, these richly detailed images reveal the breadth and individuality of everyday life in often-overlooked settings.
