King of canine conceptualism
Join Wallpaper* guest editor William Wegman as he matches his now iconic Weimaraners with an artful edit of American design
A video art pioneer and conceptual photographer who found creative salvation in a slice of salami and, later, an enthusiastic four-legged sitter, William Wegman uses found objects and his Weimaraners to create surrealist portraits. Here, we go behind the scenes of his guest edited shoot for the October 2015 issue of Wallpaper* (W*199), where he matches his dogs with American design in a brand new series of photographs. Producer: Michael Reynolds. Film: Gerald Foster
