William Wegman (b. 1943), Signed Giclee Print, ‘Love’, 2002
The work on hand ‘Lover’ is a giclee print by the contemporary artist William Wegman dating to 2002. It depicts his two dogs Fay Ray and Man Ray on their wedding day. Wegman started to introduce his Weimaraner dogs into his work in the 1980s and they have become somewhat of a recognizable symbol. His depictions serve to question the manners of humans with a sense of comedy.



The work is in very good condition. It is signed lower right in black ink with ‘William Wegman 2002’ and numbered lower left with ‘6/7’. The dimensions of the sheet are 89 x 88 cm and the dimensions, framed are 107 x 107 cm.
