The Last Dyes is an exhibition of new dye-transfer prints by William Eggleston at David Zwirner Gallery's 606 N Western Avenue location in Los Angeles. The works on view are from Eggleston’s celebrated Outlands and Chromes series, as well as several images that were first shown in the artist’s groundbreaking exhibition of color photography at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1976, and the concurrent publication William Eggleston’s Guide.

The presentation is the last major group of photographs ever to be produced using the dye-transfer printing method, making it a unique opportunity to see a number of works by Eggleston in the format in which he originally presented them. Eggleston, in consultation with his sons William and Winston, chose this group of images for his final dyes as a representative selection of the immense photographic project he undertook between 1969 and 1974 during his travels through the American South and West.

The Last Dyes is presented as part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide, a landmark regional event exploring the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty.
