Between 1969 and 1974, William Eggleston traveled the American South and West taking photographs. He was attracted to certain subjects: colorful cars, drive-in diners, gas stations, intersections. Occasionally a lone child appears, but for the most part Eggleston’s visions were conspicuously empty of people. This project would be the last time Eggleston used the dye-transfer printing method—a technique, primarily used in advertising, in which cyan, magenta, and yellow dyes are applied by hand to a gelatin-coated paper. A pioneer of color photography, Eggleston called the saturation and ink quality of dye-transfer printing “overwhelming.” He himself selected the images on view in this exhibition, many of which were first shown at his groundbreaking debut at the Museum of Modern Art, in 1976. —Paulina Prosnitz
