This momentous publication catalogues the last major group of William Eggleston’s photographs to ever be produced using the dye transfer method, the format in which he originally presented them.

"Like finding a Beatles album that no one knew existed. Everything about it is mind-bogglingly good." —The Guardian

Eggleston’s vivid photographs transform the ordinary into distinctive, poetic images that eschew fixed meaning. One of the foremost practitioners in the medium’s history, Eggleston is widely considered the father of color photography. He pioneered the use of dye-transfer printing for art photography in the 1970s. The technically advanced process—first developed by Kodak in the 1940s—allowed him to achieve the richness of tonal depth and color saturation that he had been searching for. In the early 1990s, Kodak stopped producing the dyes, paper, and film used in the process. With the necessary materials now discontinued, and the bulk of what remained being used for this exhibition, The Last Dyes marks the final presentation of new works completed in this medium.

With a foreword by William Eggleston III and Winston Eggleston, and an essay by Jeffrey Kastner, this publication will offer critical insights into Eggleston’s enduring influence at this turning point in the history of photography.

这本意义重大的出版物收录了威廉·埃格尔斯顿最后一批主要以染料转印法创作的照片，这也是他最初呈现这些作品时所采用的格式。

“就像发现了一张无人知晓其存在的披头士乐队专辑。它的一切都好得令人难以置信。”——《卫报》

埃格尔斯顿那些色彩鲜明的照片将平凡之物转化为独特而富有诗意的影像，避免了固定的含义。作为摄影史上最重要的实践者之一，埃格尔斯顿被广泛认为是彩色摄影之父。20世纪70年代，他率先将染料转印印刷术应用于艺术摄影。这一技术先进的工艺——最初由柯达公司在20世纪40年代研发——使他得以实现自己一直追求的丰富的色调深度和色彩饱和度。20世纪90年代初，柯达停止生产该工艺所用的染料、相纸和胶片。由于所需材料现已停产，且剩余的大部分材料都用于此次展览，《最后的染料》标志着以这种媒介完成的新作品的最终呈现。

该出版物收录了威廉·埃格尔斯顿三世和温斯顿·埃格尔斯顿撰写的前言，以及杰弗里·卡斯特纳撰写的文章，将为读者提供关键性见解，展现埃格尔斯顿在摄影史这一转折点上的持久影响力。
