Underlying all of William Wegman's work is the light humor of "funney" mediating the darker human comedy of "strange."
His career, as the exhibition and the catalogue attest, has never been static or predictable, yet it is woven of enduring threads of interests and explorations that engaged him at the beginning and compel him still. Coming of age in the 1960s Wegman was an early exponent of conceptual art and a pioneering maker of video. He continues to be a video artist and conceptual thinker at the same time that he is an adventurous painter, prolific writer, and masterful photographer who is able to navigate between art that amuses and surprises and art that challenges and transforms.
This exhibition brings together classic Wegman images with rarely exhibited material and surprising new work to reveal the full range and savvy voice of this remarkable artist's production.
