Always celebrated for his photographic works and paintings starring weimaraner Man Ray, Wegman resisted getting another dog after Man Ray died in 1982. Then he fell in love at first sight with a dog named Cinnamon Girl, and inspired by a dream, he adopted her and called her Fay Ray. Still he had no intention of photographing her. Fay didn’t adjust well to city life, and Wegman almost sent her back, but she lost all her nervousness in front of the camera, and the artist realized he had another star on his hands. This is a profoundly loving and beautifully illustrated tribute to Fay’s life, in many ways retrieving Wegman’s artistic sensibilities from the excesses of corny humor in some of his weimaraner-infested film and book projects. The images here capture the delicate and changeable nature of Fay’s working career; her intelligence and temperament; her whelping of the next generation of canine hams, including Batty, Chundo, and Crooky; and her sudden decline in 1995 with canine leukemia.

For almost 25 years, this artist (b.1943) has been producing amazingly inventive photographs with the 20x24-inch Polaroid camera. This extraordinary body of work began in 1979, when Wegman - already well-known in the art world for his wry video and conceptual photographic work - was invited by Polaroid to try out this unusual camera. When Wegman and his dog, Man ray, traveled together to Boston to use the camera for the first time, a remarkable collaboration was launched. After Man Ray died in 1982, he continued his exploration of the medium with non-canine subjects. In the late 1980s, he began to work with the dog Fay Ray and an expanding universe of her progeny. This book gathers together the best of his work - hundrds of unique, large-format photographs - with an insightful and candid essay by the artist exploring his experiences with the camera and his exceptional models.

This fascinating book reveals the full range of William Wegman’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. 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’s books parodying nineteenth-century naturalist studies to children’s books revealing tongue-in-cheek portraits of town and country life;  from photographic “ œlandscapes“ employing his canine 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 “ œfunny“ mediating the darker human comedy of “ œstrange.“ Speaking to the absurdities of daily life, Wegman’s work is universally appealing. Funny/Strange is the first retrospective volume to consider the artist’s entire career from the 1960s to the 2000s and is an essential book for any fan of Wegman’s work. Includes complete exhibition history. Descriptions of all films and videos.

This book gives a fantastic view from above Denmark, just as the birds experience every day, but which most of us only see now and then through the small window of a passenger aircraft. Air photographer Jan Kofod Winther has captured Denmark as seen from above with a manual Hasselblad camera, flying alone in a single-passenger aircraft and taking pictures with his right hand while controlling the plane with his left. The author, Michael Stoltze, comments on the many breathtaking images of a beautiful and diverse Denmark.
