Organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in association with Haus der Kunst in Munich, the exhibition brings together more than 125 photographs, made over five decades, by this groundbreaking artist. It includes Eggleston’s early, little-known black-and-white work, his rarely seen video Stranded in Canton, and color photographs from various bodies of work, including Troubled Waters, Graceland, Los Alamos, and Election Eve, among others.
The exhibition features a selection of images from his groundbreaking solo exhibition in 1976 at the Museum of Modern Art, widely regarded as one of the most influential photography shows of its time. Democratic Camera is co-curated by Elisabeth Sussman, Sondra Gilman Curator of Photography at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Thomas Weski, chief curator of Haus der Kunst in Munich, Germany.
The exhibition will be on view through September 20, 2009.
