Evidence: William Eggleston (born July 27, 1939) is an American photographer. The dye-transfer process resulted in some of Eggleston's most striking and famous work, such as his 1973 photograph entitled The Red Ceiling, of which Eggleston said, "The Red Ceiling is so powerful, that in fact I've never seen it reproduced on the page to my satisfaction. A dye transfer print measuring 13 ⁄8 by 21 ⁄16 inches (35.2 by 55.1 cm), Eggleston considers it among his most challenging and powerful works, "so powerful that, in fact, I've never seen it reproduced on the page to my satisfaction". It has been described as Eggleston's "most famous photograph," with "some indefinable sense of menace".
