William Eggleston was invited by the Fondation Cartier to photograph Paris, the exhibition starting today will present these new pictures. A book will also be available.
As far as I know this is the second time Eggleston works in a french city, its former pictures of Dunkerque were amazing.
More to see on the website of the exhibition http://www.fondation.cartier.com/ :
"For the last three years, American photographer William Eggleston has photographed the city of Paris as part of a commission for the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain. Taken throughout different seasons, these new images by one of the fathers of color photography portray the local and the cosmopolitan, the glamorous and the gritty, the everyday and the extraordinary.
This exhibition also provides an exceptional occasion to bring together William Eggleston’s distinctive pictures and his recent paintings, an unknown aspect of his work that has never before been presented to the public."
