Artist: William Eggleston
Exhibition Title: Selected Works from The Democratic Forest
Exhibition Dates: Oct 27 - Dec 17, 2016

David Zwirner is pleased to present its first exhibition with William Eggleston since having announced the gallery’s exclusive worldwide representation of the artist. On view at 537 West 20th Street in New York will be works from Eggleston’s monumental project The Democratic Forest.
Over the course of nearly six decades, Eggleston has established a singular pictorial style that deftly combines vernacular subject matter with an innate and sophisticated understanding of color, form, and composition. His photographs transform the ordinary into distinctive, poetic images that eschew fixed meaning. His 1976 solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, curated by John Szarkowski, marked the first presentation of color photography at the museum. Although initially criticized for its unfamiliar approach, the show and its accompanying catalogue, William Eggleston’s Guide, heralded an important moment in the medium’s acceptance within the art historical canon, and it solidified the artist’s position as one of its foremost practitioners to this date. Eggleston’s work continues to exert an influence on contemporary visual culture at large.

Thank you for posting this.

Excellent. I was struck by the number of attendees where were not looking at the photographs. Perhaps more interested in being seen than seeing.

I love it... people go to an art gallery and sit around and talk on their phones any pay absolutely no attention to the art on the walls.

Does anyone know what method was used to print this work? The prints show up nicely in this video. I’m wondering if it’s even possible to print color images in the dye transfer medium that Eggleston used (commissioned) in his earlier years.
