Saying that Szarkowski "discovered" Eggleston in 1976 and that the photographer was first shown at MoMA then is another error. Eggleston had started meeting Szarkowski in the late 1960s/early 1970s, meeting and discussing with Friedlander, Meyerowitz, Winogrand. He had already participated and been shown in two group shows at MoMA in 1970 (April 15-July 5) and 1971 (April-July; in this case a photograph he had gifted to the museum).

Photography skills aside . . . in his personal life he sounds like a true narcissist.
