About the Item
Left to Right - William Wegman (Colour Photography)
Signed and inscribed with title
Three unique colour Polaroid prints, printed 1989
24 x 20 inches each
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.

William Wegman
Born 1943, Holyoke Massachusetts; lives and works in New York City. 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. His later collaborations with Fan Ray marked his extensive use of the Poloraid 20 x 24 camera. In addition to his Photography, Wegman has created film and video works for television including segments for Saturday Night Live, Nickelodeon, and Sesame Street. Wegman’s photography, video work, paintings, and drawings, are held in the permanent collections of many important institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, among others.
