"William Eggleston and the Color Tradition"
ArtForum, Sept, 1999 by Carol Squiers
Remember the shock (at least within the photo world) that greeted William Eggleston's 1976 MOMA show? Not only were his pictures in color(!) - at that time scorned as either a commercial or an amateur medium - but his subject matter was willfully mundane(!!). Revisiting Eggleston's work today, the Getty makes more than forty of his (recently donated) images the centerpiece of a survey featuring work by thirteen contemporary color photographers - from Joel Sternfeld and Mitch Epstein to Virginia Beahan and Laura McPhee - who carry on the old MoMA lineage.

While it should be fascinating to see the work together, "color in photography" is too ubiquitous today to provide much conceptual focus for a show. Oct. 26, 1999-Jan. 30, 2000.
