Chance to see works<br />
of acclaimed artist<br />
IT WAS almost 50 years<br />
ago internationallyacclaimed<br />
artist William<br />
Wegman took his dog Man<br />
Ray to work.<br />
Now the photographer’s<br />
work will be the first<br />
paid exhibition in the<br />
Christchurch Art Gallery<br />
since it reopened in 2016<br />
– as well as Wegman’s first<br />
and only New Zealand<br />
showcase.<br />
William Wegman:<br />
Being Human tracks the<br />
relationships between the<br />
enigmatic American artist<br />
and canines after Man Ray<br />
became one of his most<br />
important inspirations.<br />
In the mid-1980s his<br />
second weimaraner, Fay<br />
Ray, shot to true art-world<br />
stardom, followed by<br />
several generations of<br />
puppies.<br />
Wegman’s world<br />
may revolve around<br />
his celebrated dogs,<br />
but his choices of sets,<br />
costumes and props<br />
reveal a fascination with<br />
art history – cubism,<br />
colour field painting,<br />
abstract expressionism,<br />
constructivism,<br />
conceptualism and, of<br />
MUSE: <strong>The</strong> first and<br />
only New Zealand<br />

open on Saturday in<br />
the Christchurch Art<br />
Gallery.<br />
course, photographer itself.<br />
It runs from <strong>April</strong> 6 to<br />

first and only New Zealand<br />
exhibition to date.<br />

It is also the art gallery’s<br />
first paid exhibition since<br />
its reopening in 2016.<br />
Art gallery director<br />
Blair Jackson said he’s<br />
thrilled to have such a<br />
through representation<br />
of Wegman’s work on<br />
show.<br />
“William Wegman is<br />
part of the late 1960s -<br />
early 1970s American<br />
conceptualist movement —<br />
he is famous for working<br />
with his dogs, starting<br />
with his weimaraner Man<br />
Ray, and has produced a<br />
huge body of work that<br />
examines the human<br />
condition through<br />
photography and video,”<br />
he said.<br />
Mr Jackson said working<br />
with Wegman continues<br />
the gallery’s legacy<br />
of collaboration with<br />
important artists.<br />
