This Iris print, on matte-surface paper, is in generally excellent condition. The colours remain bright and saturated, with no apparent signs of fading. The print is tipped to a mount in the upper margin corners. 'EAT # 0105.080' is written in an unidentified hand in ink on the reverse.

Catalogue Note:
Many argue that William Eggleston’s unique visual practice single-handedly propelled colour photography into the realm of fine art. His images of cars and car parks are a cornerstone of his Americana-infused landscapes. A close look at the present image reveals a playful twist, an optical illusion. While the background of the image seems to be dominated by a sweeping blue sky, one discovers that it is in fact a painted wall, likely part of a film set.
