Acne Dog Photos For Spring 2013 by William Wegman

William Wegman, the photographer best known for his surreal images of Weimaraners, has partnered with Acne for a seven-photo "portfolio" starring the elegant pooches. Modeling shoes, hats, and printed suits from the Spring 2013 and Resort 2013 collections, the dogs pose on pedestals and white boxes, their expressionless faces leaving plenty of room for interpretation by the viewer. "I'm a big fan of William Wegman's work, its beauty, witty humor, and intelligence, but also what it says about identity and culture," Acne creative director Jonny Johansson explains of the collaboration. "I always thought it would be interesting to work on a project together. The outcome is beyond all expectation."

New Product Alert! William Wegman Multi-Plex, Show, and Gameboard

One of three new designs in the William Wegman for Crypton Fabrics collection that launched last week, the Multi-Plex is definitely the poppiest.

One of three new designs in the William Wegman for Crypton Fabrics collection that launched last week, the Multi-Plex is definitely the poppiest. The style comes on both pet beds ($120) and pillows if you're into the whole matching thing.

Also debuting is a Gameboard pattern (in five hues) and Show (in six). These patterns come on beds but also on mess mats and (my personal favorite) the Throver, which have your floor and furnishings covered, respectively. Are you feeling these new designs?

Out and About: Ohio's Wegman Exhibit at the Wexner

While you may know him for his iconic Weimaraner photos, William Wegman: Funney/Strange is 40-year retrospective of much of his painting, collage, video, and, of course, that amusing dog photography!

While you may know him for his iconic Weimaraner photos, William Wegman: Funney/Strange is 40-year retrospective of much of his painting, collage, video, and, of course, that amusing dog photography! With stops in New York, DC, Florida, and Massachusetts, it has been in Columbus since late September and will conclude its national tour here in the Midwest. This exhibition is located at the Wexner Center for the Arts and features a special project by this "inveterate jokester" in the lobby. If you're in the area (or traveling here for the holidays), catch it before it leaves on Dec. 30.
