Bruce Weber
The Golden Retriever Photographic Society ‘Hud, NYC 2011’ Archival pigment print

2021

About the Item

Archival pigment print on Hahnemühle Ultra Smooth, signed, dated and editioned by artist verso; studio stamped verso, 14 x 17 in.. Hardcover in slipcase, 11 x 14 in., 3,69 kg (8.12 lb), 520 pages. Friends for Life Bruce Weber’s photographs of the dogs always by his side The photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber is associated with a wide array of imagery: humanist portraits of artists, actors, and athletes; fashion spreads charged with emotion, irreverence, and nostalgia; lyrical tributes to eroticism and an arcadian vision of the American landscape. All these things—and golden retrievers, too. Since the very beginning, Weber has been accompanied on his travels by a pack of these benevolent canines, who have populated his photographs for fashion campaigns, prominent magazines, and the pages of his personal scrapbooks in equal measure. The Golden Retriever Photographic Society is Weber’s first career-spanning collection of these photographs, one he describes as his most personal. In the introduction to the monograph, Weber remarks, “People sometimes say to me, ‘In my next life, I want to come back as one of your dogs.’” Paging through this volume, we understand the sentiment. For five decades, these golden retrievers have been foils for Weber’s imagination, storybook characters in the expansive life he has created with wife, Nan Bush. This book celebrates the human-animal bond, illuminating how connection to one’s pets can fuel creativity, provide companionship, and foster an abundance of joy. Limited Art Edition (No. 101–200) with the print Hud, New York City, 2011, numbered and signed by Bruce Weber. Also available as a second Art Edition (No. 1–100), with the print Little Bear Ranch, Montana, 1996, numbered and signed by Bruce Weber.

Please note that prices increase as editions sell. Isa Leshko writes: “For nearly a decade, I have visited farm animal sanctuaries across America to create photographic portraits of geriatric animals. I began this series shortly after caring for my mom who had Alzheimer’s disease. The experience had a profound effect on me and forced me to confront my own mortality. I am terrified of growing old and I started photographing geriatric animals in order to take an unflinching look at this fear. As I met rescued farm animals and heard their stories, though, my motivation for creating this work changed. I became a passionate advocate for these animals and I wanted to use my images to speak on their behalf. “For each image, I strive to reveal the unique personality of the animal I photograph. Rescued farm animals are often wary of strangers, and it can take several days to develop a comfortable rapport with the animals I photograph. I often spend a few hours lying on the ground next to an animal before taking a single picture. This helps the animal acclimate to my presence and allows me to be fully present as I get to know her. I also work only with natural light to minimize the amount of gear I am carrying in order to be as unobtrusive as possible. “For this series I have also photographed elderly companion animals. I juxtapose these images with my farm animal portraits...
