Many of Eggleston's photographs included in this book are rare and previously unseen, coming from the private collection of Wilmar Koenig, making it an essential piece for dedicated Eggleston collectors. Signature: It is assumed that the signature belongs to Wilmar Koenig, though we have not found another example of his handwriting for comparison. The signature is dated 2004, aligning with the timing of the exhibition. There are some acceptable signs of age including slight discoloration on the edges as well as a small indentation on the cover.
The friendship between William Eggleston and German photographer Wilmar Koenig spanned over two decades, marked by regular visits to each other's countries and frequent collaborative photography outings. This catalogue was produced for a 2004 exhibition that juxtaposed their works, drawing exclusively from Koenig's personal collection. As a result, many of Eggleston's photographs included here are rare and previously unseen, making it an essential piece for dedicated Eggleston collectors. Withdrawn from circulation shortly after its release, the catalogue has since become a sought-after rarity.
