In response to an invitation from the Fondation Cartier, William Eggleston has been spending three years working on a major photography project in Paris. This series of photographs shows the city’s many facets: picturesque and cosmopolitan, sublime and vulgar, humdrum and extraordinary.
To coincide with his exhibition Paris, presented at the Fondation Cartier in April 2009, William Eggleston has created an outstanding book. It takes the form of a workbook, placing his photographs next to drawings inspired by them. Presented to the public for the first time, these pieces offer a unique insight into the creative process behind Eggleston’s work, revealing similarities in terms of both composition and intention while underlining his richly creative use of color.
