Choose options

Anniversary poster with work by the American photographer, William Eggleston, (b. 1937) from the series, Los Alamos, taken in the period 1966-74. Eggleston is one of the artistic pioneers of color photography, and he became a controversial figure in the art world from the beginning of his career. The Los Alamos series gave its name to the Louisiana exhibition of Eggleston's photos in 2004.

“Democratic images” is what Eggleston likes to call his photographs: Everything is depicted with equal accuracy by the camera and no subject is better or worse than another. Anything goes.
But the seemingly random, and in themselves almost meaningless, motifs are always only a starting point for Eggleston's artistic interpretations. During development, he manipulates and intensifies the colors of the images, so that the finished photographs - despite the possible banality of the motif - appear with a peculiarly disturbing and almost supernatural beauty.
The poster is one of the anniversary posters that were reprinted in connection with Louisiana's 60th anniversary in 2018.
