Biographie de William Wegman
William Wegman is a contemporary artist notable for the remarkable breadth of his audience, which ranges from exacting art-world sophisticates to children around the world who delight in his popular storybooks. First known for his cutting-edge conceptual art (with or without dog) in the 1970s, he has developed into a virtuoso of many mediums, including painting and drawing, photography, film, and video. His most recent exhibitions include traveling retrospectives in Japan, Scandinavia, and the United States and a large survey of his drawings in France. Since 1989, he has created film and video works for Sesame Street, Saturday Night Live, and Nickelodeon. In 1996, his film The Hardly Boys in Hardly Gold was screened at the Sundance Film Festival. Wegman's Abrams publications include the seminal Mans Best Friend, documenting his first collaboration with a canine model, the weimaraner Man Ray (named "Man of the Year" in 1982 by New York's Village Voice), and William Wegman : Paintings, Photographs, Drawings, Video, the most complete collection of his work to date.
