William Wegman
Early Work

“I found all my pre-art school artwork in my parents’ basement in East Londgmeadow [MA] and made a chronological arrangement out of them, grouped them into sets, and attached a kind of meandering lattice throughout. The artwork was mostly watercolors, some dogs, many landscapes, some portraits. Photos of me, contemporary with the artwork, were set into the framework.”
