Title Page and Colophon (recto), and Process Description (verso), from Cinderella

This piece, "Title Page and Colophon (recto), and Process Description (verso), from Cinderella," offers a glimpse into William Wegman's celebrated 1994 project. While Wegman is most famous for his whimsical photographs and videos featuring his Weimaraner dogs in various poses and costumes, this work reveals his engagement with printmaking. It's part of a larger "Cinderella" series, which also includes color photolithographs, suggesting a comprehensive artistic exploration of the classic fairytale through his unique lens. The use of photomechanical metal relief on yellow wove paper highlights a different facet of his artistic practice, moving beyond direct photography to explore the processes of image reproduction and book arts. This work, like many of Wegman's projects, demonstrates his playful yet meticulous approach to art making, even in what might seem like ancillary components of a larger series.
