William Eggleston – Los Alamos 15 March – 9 June 2003 www.museum-ludwig.de William Eggleston, born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1937 is regarded as the “inventor of colour photography” since his spectacular exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1976. In contrast to other photographers he uses colour in a targeted way rather to arouse the observer’s emotions and not so much to present a detailed description of the objects photographed. His motifs present everyday life in the southern states of the USA, although they go far beyond the objects depicted and are of universal character. foto: ohne Titel, aus der Serie "Los Alamos" 1966-74, © Eggleston Artistic Trust, 2003 more foto >>>
