William Wegman: Looking Right and Left

An exhibition of eight large-scale photographs by William Wegman. Widely known for his sustained collaboration with his Weimaraners, Wegman has examined systems of meaning, authorship, and performance. About Wegman’s photographs deploy humour as a structural and analytical tool. Through carefully staged compositions, he explores symmetry, repetition, and gesture, producing images that move freely between the deadpan and the surreal. His work foregrounds the tension between conceptual rigor and apparent simplicity, collapsing distinctions between the ordinary and the constructed. Referencing fashion photography as well as the history of art, Wegman’s practice engages a wide range of visual traditions. His use of costume, props, and sets activates a sustained engagement with modernist traditions, reframing their formal concerns through photography. Read more Toggle Photography
