This exhibition comprises American art photographer Eggleston’s production of color photographs from 1965 to 1990. A particular characteristic of Eggleston’s pictures is the fact that he often shoots from the hip when he photographs apparently chance pictures of the remains of a meal, a telephone, an unheroic landscape, in which the representation is completely independent of where in the world the photograph was taken. Eggleston is one of the first artists who has treated the color photograph as an independent medium and exploited the special possibilities of color photography. He refines and intensifies the color so that it becomes not only a matter of the color of the object, but of the color as an independent quality and carrier of expression.
