About the Item
Daisy May, 1991 - William Wegman (Colour Photography)
Signed and inscribed with title
Unique colour Polaroid print
24 x 20 inches
The dogs, bewigged and bedecked with outfits and props, demonstrate a wide range of human personas. These works begin to unpick and explore the tensions between façade and identity. In the Polaroids, Wegman enlists clichés and coded objects to call attention to this fact. Wegman utilises the dogs, in their varying degrees of embellishment and whimsy, to demonstrate how identity is often something that is imposed from the outside.
Wegman used the large-format Polaroid camera to reimagine the familiar as the fantastical, transforming dogs into abstracted forms, ideas and imagined characters. As witty and shrewdly insightful as many of these works are, they remain sumptuous to behold, with masterful staging and rich, jewel-like colours. Wegman and his troupe of dogs manage all of this contemplation and complication with an unwavering whimsical attitude and sense of humour.

American Artist William Wegman received a B.F.A. in painting from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1965 and an M.F.A. in painting from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1967. By the early 1970s, Wegman’s work was being exhibited at museums and galleries across the globe. Wegman is well known for his photography featuring his dogs Man Ray, Fan Ray and her offspring.
