William Wegman is an American artist best known for his witty and imaginative photographs and videos featuring his Weimaraner dogs. Trained as a painter, he emerged in the 1970s conceptual art scene before gaining widespread recognition for his staged portraits of his canine collaborators, often dressed in human clothes and posed in surreal, humorous scenarios. Wegman’s practice spans photography, painting, drawing, and video, and his work has been exhibited internationally and is included in major museum collections such as the Whitney, MoMA, and the Centre Pompidou.
