NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 21 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — William Wegman collectors will be pleased to know that the affordable art website 20×200 released not one but two editions of William Wegman prints on Thursday, December 16. Avid collectors of the William Wegman Weimaraners will have a chance to purchase “Game Board” and “Blizzard,” available in three limited edition sizes, with individual prints starting at $50 for an 8-inch x 10-inch photograph.
Weimaraner art is an unlikely category made commonplace by Wegman’s long and fruitful career with canine collaborators, starting with his first dog, Man Ray, whose progeny remain a part of Wegman’s life and work to this day. While known to many as the “dog art guy,” William Wegman is much more than that: a pioneer video artist, conceptualist, photographer, painter and writer, he moves fluidly among various media. William Wegman and Fay Ray: Polaroids 1987-1995, an exhibition featuring 20-inch x 24-inch Polaroid Photographs of the artist’s second dog, is currently on view at New York City’s Senior & Shopmaker gallery.
Showcasing an ever-growing stable of artists, ranging from emerging to established to the legendary, 20×200 has previously featured four William Wegman editions; “No Fun Sleeping Under A Picture Like This” and “The Architects” with two editions featuring William Wegman dogs, “Pink Elephant” and “About Four Thirty.”
