Approximately a year ago, an auction of William Eggleston's work fetched $5.9 million at Christie's — but what was interesting was not just the huge price these scant 36 images fetched, but that they were large, digital prints rather than the traditional dye-transfer process Eggleston originally used. However, one collector of Eggleston's earlier work brought suit against the artist for printing more of what were originally sold as "limited editions."
