Catalogue Note
In 1976, the Museum of Modern Art held a ground-breaking exhibition. A one man show titled William Eggleston’s Guide, which established the photographer as the pioneer of colour photography. Until this point, this type of photography had been largely excluded from the museum circuit side-lined as amateur.
