About Objects of Comfort
The literal and physical object, slight in feature yet allowing the model distraction from the vulnerability of nudity, a security blanket masking the bareness of skin. The female figure as object, for it is the original home from which we came and the photograph as the material object, immortalising the beauty of youth, a celebration of the skin and the defeat of culturally or socially acceptable conventions.

Funney/Strange
William Wegman

Was £29.95 > Now £6.95

'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. William Wegman: Funney—Strange is illustrated with some 250 images. It 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.'
