William Eggleston: The Last Dyes

Pulled from William Eggleston's celebrated Outlands and Chromes series, this momentous publication catalogues the last major group of Eggleston's photographs to ever be produced using the dye transfer method, the format in which he originally presented them.

Eggleston's vividly saturated photographs transform the ordinary into distinctive, poetic images that eschew fixed meaning. One of the foremost practitioners in the medium's history, Eggleston was widely considered the father of color photography. His love for the medium and his devotion to quality is exemplified in his use of dye-transfer printing, a technique that enhanced the vibrancy and depth of his compositions. Developed by Kodak in the 1940s, dye-transfer prints were a favorite of Eggleston as the detailed and difficult process of printing yielded a stunning and colorful result.
