The print offered here, along with the following lot, is one of the negatives that William Eggleston revisited in 2012 when he embarked on a project to produce select images from his archive as large- format pigment prints. The resulting print is a tour-de-force that highlights Eggleston’s impeccable ability to make ‘real photographs, bits lifted from the visceral world with such tact and cunning that they seem true, seen in color from corner to corner’ (John Szarkowski, William Eggleston’s Guide).
