This Savage Art

From Gothamist:

The Whitney has just opened Eggleston’s first New York museum solo show since his MoMA debut. Called “William Eggleston: Democratic Camera, Photographs and Video, 1961-2008,” the expansive retrospective covers the beginnings of his career some fifty years ago to the present day, and includes more than 150 photographs, some never-before-exhibited, as well as the rarely screened video diary of Eggleston’s “legendary nocturnal wanderings,” Stranded in Canton.

Eggleston’s work has informed such filmmaker’s as David Lynch, Francis Ford Coppola and many others. Make a note to attend.
