William Eggleston: Election Eve<\/strong> In 1977 William Eggleston released\u00a0Election Eve<\/i>, his first and most elaborate artist\u2019s book, containing 100 original prints in two leatherbound volumes, housed in a linen box. It was published by Caldecot Chubb in New York in an edition of only five, and has since become Eggleston\u2019s rarest collectible book. This new Steidl edition recreates the full original sequence of photos in a single volume, making it available to the wider public for the first time.<\/p>\n Election Eve<\/i>\u00a0contains images made in October 1976 during Eggleston\u2019s pilgrimage from Memphis to the small town of Plains, Georgia, the home of Jimmy Carter who in November 1976 was elected 39th President of the United States. Eggleston began photographing even before he left Memphis and depicted the surrounding countryside and villages of Sumter Country, before he reached Plains. His photos of lonesome roads, train tracks, cars, gas stations and houses are mostly empty of people and form an intuitive, unsettling portrait of Plains, starkly different from the idealized image of it subsequently promoted by the media. The book includes a preface by Hollywood screenwriter (The Mummy<\/i>, 1999), director (Gotham<\/i>, 1988) and author Lloyd Fonvielle.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/store.capitalbooksonk.com\/?q=h.tviewer&using_sb=status&qsb=keyword&qse=KWpTaU6sbsuqySmceoax5A” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”PURCHASE” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.6.0″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" William Eggleston: Election EveWilliam Eggleston$80 In 1977 William Eggleston released\u00a0Election Eve, his first and most elaborate artist\u2019s book, containing 100 original prints in two leatherbound volumes, housed in a linen box.
