William Wegman has gained international recognition for his work in photography, painting, drawing and video. Although Wegman is best known for his witty portraits of his Weimeraner dogs (Man Ray, Fae Ray, and others), he is also a highly original figure in the history of video art. His amusing tapes based on performances from the 1970s are considered to be true video classics. Wegman’s work has been collected in a retrospective that started at the Kunstmuseum in Lucerne and later travelled to museums all over Europe and the USA, such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
