Weimaraners, originally bred in Germany and used for hunting, are central to William Wegman’s photography. Dogs are both the object of Wegman’s obsessive gaze and participants in a collaborative practice. His first artistic collaboration with a Weimaraner began in 1970, when one joined Wegman’s family and was named Man Ray, in honour of one of Wegman’s most admired modern artists. Man Ray (the dog) was a highly spirited performer in front of Wegman’s camera.
