<div>This fascinating book reveals the full range of William Wegman&#8217;s art. Beloved by the general public for signature photographs of his troupe of Weimaraners, Wegman is also an immensely important figure in the contemporary art world.<br>A pioneer video-maker, conceptualist, performer, photographer, painter, draftsman, and writer, Wegman moves fluidly among various media: from conceptual works to commissioned magazine shots; from videos shown in museums to television segments made for Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live; from artist&#8217;s books parodying nineteenth-century naturalist studies to children&#8217;s books revealing tongue-in-cheek portraits of town and country life;&nbsp; from photographic &#8220;landscapes&#8221; employing his canine&nbsp;muses to his most recent cycle of landscapes combining found scenic souvenir postcards with drawing, collage, and painting. Underlying all his creations is the light humor of &#8220;funny&#8221; mediating the darker human comedy of &#8220;strange.&#8221; Speaking to the absurdities of daily life, Wegman&#8217;s work is universally appealing.<br><i>William Wegman: Funney&#8212;Strange </i>is illustrated with some 250 images and accompanied by an exclusive DVD showing highlights of Wegman&#8217;s video work. It is the first retrospective volume to consider the artist&#8217;s entire career from the 1960s to the 2000s and is an essential book for any fan of Wegman&#8217;s work.<br></div>
