LOS ANGELES – Animals have never been camera shy – almost since the introduction of the medium in 1839, they have appeared in photographs. While early photographs typically depicted animals that were tame, captive, or dead, modern and contemporary artists have delved into the interdependent relationship between man and beast.
Drawn entirely from the J. Paul Getty Museum’s photographs collection, In Focus: Animalia, on view May 26-October 18, 2015 at the Getty Center, illustrates some of the complex relationships between people and animals. From an intimate studio portrait with dog and owner to the calculated cruelty of inbreeding practices, these photographs offer nuanced views of the animal kingdom.
Photographs of pets, working animals, taxidermied game, and exotic beasts in newly opened zoos cir...
Senior & Shopmaker is pleased to announce William Wegman: Cubism and Other –isms, an exhibition of recent photographs in which the artist, with his trademark wry humor, mines art historical precedents to create images of startling beauty.
Beginning in the early ‘90s while making videos and films with his dogs standing in as human characters, the artist placed his subjects on elevated platforms in order to shoot them at eye level. Over the years, props in Wegman’s photographs have taken many forms, but none so consistently as the cube, which in Joan Simon’s catalogue essay for the artist’s 2006 retrospective, Funney/Strange, represents “ an art-about-art reference echoing both the pedestal of traditional sculpture and the Euclidean geometry of Minimalism.” The cube is also ...
En couvrant une période allant de 1989 à nos jours, autour du thème du festival 2012 "Voyages et rêves", l’exposition que propose la galerie A.L.F.A cet automne à Paris sera l’occasion de découvrir de toutes nouvelles productions et de prendre du plaisir à retrouver des œuvres plus anciennes de William Wegman. Le photographe américain est représenté dans de nombreuses collections publiques et privées et est largement exposé à travers le monde.
Elle donnera à voir ses fameuses séries de photographies, marques de fabrique de l’artiste, qui ont pour modèle unique et inattendu un élégant braque de Weimar, aux postures et expressions anthropomorphes qui suscitent e...
Le Bestiaire imaginaire
Cette exposition réunit plus d’une centaine de photographies d’animaux réels ou imaginaires prises par des photographes majeurs du XIXe siècle et des artistes contemporains qui se retrouvent autour d’une pensée commune : la place de l’animal dans la photographie. L’animal est une figure trés présente dans la pensée, il symbolise nos croyances, illustre nos contes et légendes, peuple notre imaginaire. Véritable énigme, il exerce une fascination, inspire les artistes et devient l’acteur de ses représentations dès les débuts de l’invention de la photographie.
L’animal est au départ photographié comme un sujet d’étude, en effet ...

WILLIAM WEGMAN "DOGS ON ROCKS - IN THE WOODS - AT THE SEASIDE"
Following our exhibitions of photo pieces and Polaroids by William Wegman (*1943) in the years 1995, 1997 and 2004, and of drawings in 2007, Galerie Bugdahn und Kaimer now presents a series of new coloured photographic works by this American, New York-based conceptual artist who is equally at home in the media of painting, drawing, video, film and photography.
The photographs shown in the exhibition "Dogs on Rocks - in the Woods - at the Seaside" are Chromogenic prints, 14 x 11 inches / 35.5 x 28 cm, made in an edition of twelve. Most were taken on Baker's Island, on Wellington Dock in Southwest Harbor, and in a few other places nearby on the Maine coast during late July and August. They span a period of ten years and include six dog...
Senior & Shopmaker Gallery is pleased to announce Wegman Outdoors, a survey exhibition of photographs dating from 1981 through 2007. The exhibition will bring together classic Wegman images with rarely exhibited material and surprising new work to reveal the full range of the artist's outdoor color photography. The show will coincide with the opening of William Wegman's new video work, Around the Park, commissioned by the Madison Square Park Conservancy, a narrative film shot entirely in the park and presented on outdoor monitors surrounding the Shake Shack.
The subject of landscape has been a constant theme in Wegman's painting, drawing, and conceptual photographs of the 1970s. In the early 1980s, the artist's approach to photography broadened from the posed studio shots of his canine muse, Man Ray, to outdoor photog...
