William Eggleston: The Hasselblad Award 1998

5 reviews
William Eggleston, Gunilla Knape, ...

Scalo Publishers - Hasselblad Center, 1999

A masterful survey of a master photographer
"I think William Eggleston invented color photography," said John Szarkowski, the authoritative curator of photography at New York's Museum of Modern Art, around the time of the wildly influential show in 1976 that MoMA staged of this ground-breaking artist. Now, twenty years later, Eggleston has won the Hasselblad Award and this resultant book is a handsome and solid survey of the photography ...

Eggleston images beautiful
I am a long time Eggleson fan, and it's great to see this images from the remarkably inventive and influential photographer. Some are classics, and some are rarely seen. Nicely produced.

Beg, borrow, buy or steal this book
I've looked at thousands of photo books in my life and this is one of my personal favorites. Why? It isn't, for the most part, because of the subject matter. Eggleston's images are pretty banal -- common everyday objects that we routinely ignore. I like this book because it shows an undisputed master dealing simultaneously with two photographic problems -- color and a square image format. Even if ...

Being There
Contemporary art photography seems to be mired in such an identity crisis at present that it is both a relief and a joy to live in William Eggleston's world of lush barroom vinyl with characters so breathtakingly present. His 5 x 7 portraits are both spontaneous and profound....as if he has brushed against strangers and in a 60th of a second got a look inside. Also, he has made one of the best ...

Aperture, 2008

Filled with countless color photos, as well as essays covering Ghirri's reflections
"It's Beautiful Here, Isn't It..." is not just a book title; it's a statement that perfectly sums up this newest collection of photography from Luigi Ghirri. Filled with countless color photos, as well as essays covering Ghirri's reflections on the time he took the photos and the atmosphere surrounding the events, "It's Beautiful Here, Isn't It..." adds a personal touch to the gorgeous shots on ...

True Stories

Faber and Faber, 1986

Idiosyncratic wonder
While I will admit there are better-made films out there, True Stories remains my favorite movie of all time. I like it because, much like its themes and characters (and life itself), it is imperfect. But its imperfection becomes part of its genius, especially on repeated viewings. It's not really a movie with a plot, except maybe Louis' search for love. It illustrates ideas, themes and moods ...

William Eggelston's Guide

The MIT Press, 1976

Bill's artful snapshots
William Eggleston's photos grow on you. Look through this book for the first time and the contents seem a bit like ordinary snapshots but look again and then again and with each viewing the images become more familiar (still with something fresh to discover each time) but now they start to blend together seamlessly. One reason for this, I think, is that the photos capture the everyday and the ...

Los Alamos

Scalo Publishers, 2003

It's not about Los Alamos
The photos in this book are not about Los Alamos, New Mexico. Although some of them may have been taken there, many--maybe most--are from Eggleston's familiar Deep South. One is done in an airplane flying over God-knows-where. But the photos aren't about the locations. They are about color. And the main colors are red, white and blue. If Eggleston's "...Guide" was photographed under the ...

Photo Lover?s Delight - If You Can Tolerate the Book Design
Like the previous books in the American Photography series, this one presents the winners in an open juried competition. The photos had to have been published or taken in 2002. Only those "selected" photos with a majority vote of the six-person panel were reproduced in the book; those "chosen" with two votes are only on a Web site. I am not fond of several aspects of this book. First, the ...

Open City: Street Photographs since 1950

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2001

A refreshing break from the norm
Finally, an exhibition about street photography OUTSIDE of New York City. Although there was certainly a bias for American photographers, one can argue that, as far as the Western world is concerned, America essentially invented the "street" aesthetic (thanks, particulary to Robert Frank) as a decisive rejection of documentary photography (a la the FSA years) and photojournalism. Regardless, it ...
