William Wegman: Dogs on Rocks

Matsumoto Incorporated, New York, New York, 2008

Description

This volume contains previously unpublished photographs of William Wegman’s well-known dogs. All the photos were taken over the course of 10 years in Maine, where the artist has a house. We wanted the book to be journal-like, so the trim size is small and the photographs are reproduced at a fairly small size, making it look similar to a personal photo book. Instead of covering the book with a printed jacket, we used a silky bookbinding cloth for the cover. One photo is tipped in and the title is hot-stamped on the cover, contributing to the journal-like feel of the publication. 

Juror Notes

The design of this book complements the photography to perfection.
