Starburst
"It is hard to imagine today that the artistic value of color photography was once questioned and controversial, until well into the eighties. William Eggleston’s groundbreaking first exhibition at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1976 was fiercely debated; many of those who viewed his photographs found it difficult to assign the series depicting everyday life in the South the status of an artwork. Early works byStephen Shore and Helen Levitt, for example, also met with similarly adverse reviews. But color photography’s triumphal march could not be halted: inspired by such pioneers, Jeff Wall, Rineke Dijkstra, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Nan Goldin, and many others concentrated in succeeding years on illustrating reality, depicting the banal and seemingly ephemeral with great truthfulness, making use of intense colors to express their emotions. Starburst examines the influence of the first great names of artistic color photography in the United States on following generations. With breathtaking “high star density,” it portrays the entire range of this phase in the history of photography based on a stimulating selection of unique works.Exhibition schedule: Cincinnati Art Museum, February 13–May 9, 2010 Princeton University Art Museum July 8–September 26, 2010
»‘Starburst’ is a very obvious must buy for pretty much anyone who is even mildly interested in contemporary photography. It serves as a very useful reference guide (great for photography teachers!), and it is filled with beautiful photography.«
Jörg Colberg, Conscientious
»‘Starburst’ is made up of two sections; the first compromising detailed but digestible essays, the second highlights stunning photography...It's an intoxicating mix.«

»The extensive and well-reproduced pictures in this volume are likely to become a standard survey of the historic New Color movement in the United States.«
