Flowers is a facsimile of the third of William Eggleston\u2019s rare artist\u2019s books, which was first published in an edition of only fifteen by Caldecott Chubb in New York in 1978. The original Flowers was a linen-bound volume with red leather spine and corners recreating the look of a photo album, and housed in a slipcase. Within its pages were twelve original chromogenic coupler prints focused on the theme of flowers.<\/p>\n
Flowers, along with trees and other foliage inevitably feature in many of Eggleston\u2019s photos as part of the Memphis streetscapes and interiors that are his favorite motifs. But in this book the flowers take center stage in all their mundane glory\u2014be it a kitsch spray of gladioli and carnations in a cut-glass vase, a single rose before a box hedge, or a forlorn bunch on a white marble tomb inscribed with the word \u201cMama.\u201d Along with Eggleston\u2019s Morals of Vision, also released this season, Flowers is a further chapter in Steidl\u2019s publication of Eggleston\u2019s artist\u2019s books in new editions that honor the design and spirit of the originals, while exposing their contents to the wider public for the first time.<\/p>\n
