William Wegman: From Maine Turnpikes to The Met

Famed Weimaraner lover and artist, William Wegman, must have had an exciting week. On Wednesday, the Maine Turnpike Authority announced they’ve chosen his artwork to adorn three travel plazas on the highway, two in Kennebunk and one in West Gardiner. Then, last night, a series of four Polaroids, including a triptych of his dogs dressed in Hansel and Gretel costumes from next year’s Englbert Humberdink’s opera, were sold for $50,000 at The Metropolitan Opera’s “Art for Opera” event. Visit the artist’s Wegman World Website to pick up a book, t-shirt or print featuring his funny, strange, and enduringly popular work.
