DESCRIPTION

Dive into the vivid world of American photography with "William Eggleston: For Now".

This captivating book is a curated collection of Eggleston's unpublished photographs, meticulously selected by filmmaker Michael Almereyda, known for his 2005 documentary "William Eggleston in the Real World".

Almereyda explores over 35,000 images from Eggleston's archive, spanning four decades of the photographer's career, offering what he calls "the B-sides, the bootlegs, the unreleased tracks".

This oversized fourth edition includes eight new unpublished photographs, enriching an already compelling collection.

"William Eggleston: For Now" provides a unique look into Eggleston's intimate world, focusing unusually on the artist's family and friends.

This collection is characterized by an offhand intimacy that is both typical of Eggleston's style and perpetually surprising.

Essays by esteemed writers such as Greil Marcus, Amy Taubin, Kristine McKenna, and Lloyd Fonvielle add depth and context to the visual narrative, making this book a comprehensive exploration of Eggleston's influence and legacy.

William Eggleston, born in 1939, revolutionized color photography in the 1960s, inspired by the works of Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson.

His work is celebrated for transforming mundane scenes of Americana into vivid, cinematic masterpieces. Eggleston's photographs are part of prestigious collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Michael Almereyda, born in 1959, brings a filmmaker's eye to this project, having studied art history at Harvard before transitioning to filmmaking. His notable works include the 2000 adaptation of "Hamlet" and the Gotham Award-nominated documentary "William Eggleston in the Real World."

Perfect for art enthusiasts, photography aficionados, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of American visual culture, this book is a testament to Eggleston's enduring impact on the art world.
