The Garden District Book Shop will host renowned photographer and New Orleans native William Greiner on April 13 for signing of his latest book Neutral Ground. In his breathtakingly beautiful Neutral Ground: New Orleans 1990–2005, William Greiner presents a striking visual record of pre-Katrina New Orleans in the classic styles of William Eggleston and Birney Imes. Printed in Italy under the artist’s direction, the pages explode with color: a father floating in a gelatinous cerulean pool, an abandoned armchair framed by arsenic- green walls, Titian-red tiles atop the old New Orleans Athletic Club, and a riot of pastels inside a Chinese restaurant. Each of the eighty-six photographs reflects a lifetime of making art and documenting place, forming a passionate tribute to Greiner’s lost home. The event will begin at 4:00 PM. Greiner will be joined in conversation by Abram Himelstein, editor in chief at the University of New Orleans Press. After they discuss his work they will open up the floor for a Q&A. Greiner will then be available to personalize copies of her book. The event is free and open to the public. Books can be reserved in advance on Eventbrite.
