William Eggleston’s way of looking at the world and his singular pictorial style reverberate across contemporary visual culture.
The Eggleston Art Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and studying the work of American photographer William Eggleston (b. 1939). Based in the artist’s hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, the Foundation houses the Eggleston Archive and serves as a resource for research about the artist, his art and the subjects of the immense body of work he began producing in the late 1950s.
The Foundation supports arts and cultural institutions by facilitating loans of artwork and providing other assistance for exhibitions, publications and educational programs. Inspired by Eggleston's commitment to photography as 'a democratic way of looking around', the Foundation also works with a variety of partners to present arts programming that shows us how others see the world.
The Eggleston Art Foundation does not handle sales of artwork. William Eggleston is represented exclusively by David Zwirner, with locations in New York, London, Hong Kong and Paris. For further information, please contact the gallery.
The William Eggleston Catalogue Raisonné is a project supported by the Eggleston Art Foundation. The project will document and establish a complete inventory of Eggleston's imagery. A call for owners of works believed to be by William Eggleston will be issued at a future date; inquires and submissions of material will not be accepted at this time.
The Eggleston Art Foundation does not authenticate artworks. If you have a question about authenticating an artwork, please contact the Eggleston Artistic Trust.
