William Eggleston: At Zenith

William Eggleston: At Zenith

In April 1979, a book of 15 color photographs by William Eggleston was published in a limited edition of twenty. The photographs were taken from the second chapter of an unpublished larger work entitled <I>Wedgewood Blue</I>. Alongside his publications <I>Chromes</I> (2011), <I>Los Alamos Revisited</I> (2012) and the forthcoming <I>Democratic Forest</I> (2014) and <I>Election Eve</I> (2016), all documenting Eggleston's life work, <I>At Zenith</I> constitutes a calm and experimental intermezzo from Eggleston's familiar loudness and intensity of colors. The photographer pointed his camera at the sky to focus on the clouds rolling by.
