| W. Eggleston from The Outlands |
Now, mind ya, this seems to be the second book titled with more or less the same name- the first seems to be some $300 trilogy from Steidl that you can still get at Amazon, the one I saw was the current offering from Zwirner at a third that price. And let's just say, The Outlands is big and beautiful! If you're a fan of Big Bad Bill, as am I, it will certainly not disappoint. The reproductions are just gorgeous- deep, saturated... and while you have a few less than memorable shots, the majority are quite good, many as good as anything he's ever done! And I never quite got his rep for the "snapshot aesthetic," it's his imaginative, well thought out compositions that make his signature style far as I'm concerned. And there's one thing that really struck me while perusing through this book- the absolute joy he had sticking his camera here, there, wherever and seeing what he could come up with. And come up with them he did!
And if you're lucky enough to be NYC way, don't miss the show... till 12/17.
