William Eggleston Works Sell for $5.9 Million at Auction

This is his first time to use the inkjet output technology (digital pigment prints) to make large-format photos. Since 1970, Eggleston has been using the dye-transfer process to make his photographs. This process has maintained the characteristics of his works, such as high saturation and vivid colors, but it has limitations in terms of size. The auctioned works printed with inkjet are over 1 meter in size each, which is also an attempt and innovation for him.
