"I had this notion of what I called a democratic way of looking around, that nothing was more or less important," William Eggleston once said. This radical perspective guided his groundbreaking work in color photography, which has influenced many recent developments in art and photography. Los Alamos presents a series of previously unseen photographs that encapsulate the blueprint of Eggleston's aesthetics: his subtle use of subdued color hues and the casual elegance of his observations of the mysteries in the mundane.

The photographs in Los Alamos were taken in Eggleston's native Memphis and on road trips across the American South between 1964–1968 and 1972–1974. Initially, Eggleston envisioned a vast collection of over 2,000 photographs to be contained in 20 volumes, inviting viewers to experience the images as they might view the world. However, the project was eventually abandoned, and most of the negatives were never printed. Now, 30 years later, a selection from this remarkable compendium of Southern everyday life and vernacular culture is finally available.

Eggleston's timeless portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and architectural images transcend the descriptive, uncovering universal truths within the details and detritus of life in a consumer culture. His work reveals a poetics of pleasure hidden in plain sight, making the so-called snapshot photography of recent years pale in comparison.

Published in collaboration with Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Los Alamos includes essays by Walter Hopps and Thomas Weski.

"One of the few geniuses in photography." — Andy Grundberg
"The world is so visually complicated that the word 'banal' scarcely is very intelligent to use. All days are similar, no matter what part of this planet we're in." — William Eggleston
