Photographer William Eggleston Dye Transfer Print Rarely Seen Edition 2/5

Description: This is a rare William Eggleston Untitled Dye Transfer Photographic Print c 1990 -1992....It is in an edition of 2/5.... Coming straight from the Zwirner Gallery in New York City....I was told by them to ensure it for $65,000....Eggleston has long been called the Great Poet of the Color Red as depicted in his famous Dye Transfer Red Ceiling photograph,and this particular piece being offered is saturated in the color Red....William Eggleston has always had a keen eye for the familiar,the things we see in our every day lives and take for granted....He takes these images and as he told a reporter in an interview in 2016,I have a personal rule never take more than one picture....He then goes on to say...I have never wished I had taken a picture differently....It simply happens that I was right the first time....Known for his chain-smoking,and outlandish behavior his images hang in museums around the world such as the National Portrait Gallery and the Metropolitan Museum of Art ... His images can also be seen on the Silver Screen in movies such as Blue Velvet by David Lynch,and the 1999 film by Sophia Coppola The Virgin Suicides,as well as the acclaimed 1999 movie American Beauty....His amazing career has been highlighted by the sale of 36 of his Photographic Prints at a Christie’s auction in 2012 for $5.9 million...That is correct $5.9 million dollars....Eggleston is in his mid 80s,his photographic art will only increase in value overtime...The piece being presented has rarely been seen before....It has been said that there is a correlation between his being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock and his blood red saturated images as they appear in his Dye Transfer pieces of which this is one,and these pieces are noted to be the most desirable... This Untitled piece is for the true collector of William Eggleston,and will become a treasured addition for any collection...It is in pristine condition...The frame has been glazed with museum acrylic UV filtering acrylic....All pertinent information can be seen on the back of the picture...The measurements are approx.20 x 16" for the Dye Transfer Print itself and 25 7/8"x 19 7/8" x 1 1/2" framed... A special piece to enjoy for a lifetime....Please Note: Because of the cost of this item I have listed additional insurance of $100 plus the calculated shipping....Please feel free to ask any questions you may have,and as always thanks for looking!
