William Wegman was born in 1943 in Holyoke, Massachusetts. [...] By the early 70s, Wegman’s work was being exhibited in museums and galleries internationally. [...] It was while he was in Long Beach that Wegman got his dog, Man Ray, with whom he began a long and fruitful collaboration. Man Ray, known in the art world and beyond for his endearing deadpan presence, became a central figure in Wegman’s photographs and videotapes. In 1981, Man Ray died. [...] William Wegman lives in New York and Maine where he continues to make videos, to take photographs and to make drawings and paintings.
