Art Review: William Eggleston Exhibition, Victoria Miro Gallery. Words by Fiona Campbell.
A rubbish filled dumpster, bare tiled bathroom and pornographic posters; these are just a few of the everyday images that feature in Eggleston’s collection of new work 21st Century currently exhibiting at the Victoria Miro gallery. On first glance the photographs project a bleak picture of American Suburbia, yet Egglestons’s trade mark garish colours and penetrating shafts of light illuminate his mundane subjects, transforming them into objects of simple beauty.
