Eggleston, William, 1939- photographer.

Polaroid SX-70 / William Eggleston.

First edition.

Göttingen, Germany : Steidl, 2019.

1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 27 cm

This book is a facsimile of an album of Eggleston's Polaroids assembled by the photographer himself, and containing the only photos he made in this medium. Consisting of 56 images taken with the Polaroid SX-70 (the now cult camera produced between 1972 and 1981) and handmounted in a black leather album also produced by the company, 'Polaroid SX-70' is the first publication of Eggleston's Polaroids. The gloriously mundane subjects of these photos - a Mississippi street sign, a telephone book, stacked crates of empty soda bottles - is familiar Eggleston territory, but fascinatingly all of these Polaroids were taken outdoors. They are rare records of Eggleston's strolls or drives in and around Mississippi, complement the majority of his work made with color negative film or color slides, and show his ironic flair for photo-sequencing in book form.
