Book Description:

Christie's: Photographs by William Eggleston From the Collection of Bruce and Nancy Berman auction, sale 2036 held on October 13, 2008 in New York. The catalog, measuring 8.25" x 10.5", contains 60 lots, fully illustrated in color, with several fold-outs, on 100 pages. The photographs in this auction present a wide cross section of Eggleston's work, including numerous examples of his best known work. The sale has images from most of Eggleston's important series such as Dust Bells, 10 D.70.V1, Southern Suite, and Graceland, as well as the entire Troubled Waters portfolio. But most notably it includes a full set of the Los Alamos portfolios—75 dye transfer prints taken from 1965 to 1974 encompassing all of the artists major concerns and themes. Printed in 2002 in an edition of only seven (with three artist's proofs), this auction was the first time that this influential body of work was offered in the New York auction market. Los Alamos was executed during several "spontaneous and aimless" road trips revolving around the center of his world—Memphis and the Mississippi Delta—and as far west as New Orleans to Las Vegas and southern California ending on the Santa Monica Pier. Los Alamos is dedicated to showing the moody, lyrical beauty that surrounds us at all times and in all places. Particularly coveted because it contains the first color photograph Eggleston made—of a red-haired grocery clerk pushing a shopping cart in the raking, red-hued light at the end of the day—Los Alamos helped reposition color photography as "fine art" among aficionados in the photographic world. The Los Alamos portfolio is included in this auction catalogue as a series of five fold-outs. Seven other fold-outs of important Eggleston photographs are also contained in this catalogue.
