Summary: "Drawing together Eggleston's famous and lesser-known works, this illustrated catalogue is the first to examine both his photography and video works. Filled with new and challenging contributions to scholarship, it examines his black-and-white images form the early 1960s, which helped shape his color photography, as well as the relationships between his provocative video recordings of 1970s Memphis nightlife and his later work. Included are reproductions of newly restored prints, executed specifically for the exhibition."--BOOK JACKET.
