Triple Shot of Eggleston

Can't get enough of him ? No worries, there's THREE exhibitions coming up for Mr. Eggleston.

First up on Oct 30th is the opening of "William Eggleston: American Photographer" @ Edward Cella Gallery in Miracle Mile. ...the exhibition of more than forty vintage photographs begins with several one-of-a- kind black-and-white, hand-developed photographs of the 1960s and also includes pristine examples of the vivid dye transfer work of the early 1970s. His Berlin Series will also be shown. Reception is 6-8 pm.

Independent curator and photographic historian, Carole Thompson for an overview of William Eggleston: American Photographer on November 6, 2010 at 4 pm @ the gallery. Free and open to the public.

Right across the street from Edward Cella Gallery is LACMA where on Oct 31st, the "William Eggleston: Democratic Camera—Photographs and Video, 1961-2008" exhibition opens.

This exhibition will include approximately two hundred photographs, the artist's little-known video work Stranded in Canton, his early black-and-white photographs of the sixties, and the vivid dye-transfer work of the early seventies, as seen in the Museum of Modern Art's landmark catalogue of 1976, William Eggleston's Guide.

BTW : William Eggleston in the Real World (2005) will be screening on Oct 31st at 1:30 pm. Perhaps you recognized the director, Michael Almereyda ? He'll be there to discuss the film. $7 general admission. $5 for students/members/senior @ Bing Theatre.

And finally over at DNJ Gallery on La Brea (just a few blocks north of PIX) on Nov. 13th 6-8 pm is the opening reception to "William Eggleston : On the Road". ... a compilation of over forty images, especially some dye transfer printing, from the two series “Democratic Forest” and “Graceland. ”
