Looking Right
2015
This celebrated photograph by William Wegman features two of his iconic Weimaraner dogs anthropomorphically dressed in belted trench coats, one mustard yellow and one navy blue, both gazing to the right against a warm chocolate brown studio backdrop. The work exemplifies Wegman's signature style of blending humor, sophistication, and portraiture through the costuming of his beloved dogs as human stand ins. Part of the exhibition William Wegman: Looking Right and Left, this pigment print is from a very limited edition of just 2 plus 2 artist proofs, making it an exceptionally rare and desirable example from the artist's celebrated photographic oeuvre.

Martin Parr
British · b. 1952

Parr similarly uses deadpan humor and formal photographic precision to document absurd human and social scenarios, creating images that balance comedy with elegant compositional control.

Elliott Erwitt
American · b. 1928

Erwitt is renowned for witty conceptual photography frequently featuring dogs as central subjects, combining dry humor with sophisticated formal technique in a way that closely mirrors Wegman's approach.

Tim Walker
British · b. 1970

Walker constructs elaborate fantastical scenarios and costumes in portrait photography with a theatricality and playful elegance that parallels Wegman's staged costumed imagery of his Weimaraners.
