Wish I was in NYC, would love to see these images at this scale...probably a first...
I'd be too sad that I couldn't afford to buy one.

I've always liked Eggleston's work. He captures suburban life--if not the banality of suburban life--of another era in such a way that always appeals to me. It's like looking at a photographic rendition of an Updike novel. His use of color always fascinates me.

Banal suburban life on banal inkjet paper, at non-banal prices (roll the quote by P. T. Barnum...)

Works for me! Many of us would be very lucky to have such banal work in our portfolio.

Site's broken! I can't set the "Estimate Filter" to an amount I could afford.
But, it's very inspiring work. I could use some of his invigoration. Thanks for the post!

I'm curious what constitutes not-banal inkjet paper. Or not-banal printing paper at all.
Can not-banal paper make a bad image good?

I think it was an insinuation that inkjet prints aren't real prints...

Do they sell them also in sq.inches like pieces of puzzle? Then I may afford for a piece from my favorite one (Lot 22, The Bare Bulb ) at $94.69/sq.in.

A friend got him to sign his cigarette lighter. I might be able to afford something like that.

I'm not sure why someone would use the term, "banal ink-jet paper".
Isn't one of the great things about ink-jet, the huge variety of papers available? I mean, certainly compared to traditional photo papers.

I wonder what Mr Eggleston will do with all that money ... hire a better editor for the next sale would be my suggestion

Apparently, the trust is raising money to help fund the building of an Eggleston museum in Memphis.

I never thought I'd want to visit Memphis (though I'm sure it has many charms), but this would make me want to if it ever gets accomplished.
Funny how much of a target of hate he is though...

He's the Pollock of photography - "I could do that"/"My 3-year old could do that" - and yet they never do...
