Hello Reps,
Earlier this month we released WILLIAM WEGMAN: BEING HUMAN and we’ve been receiving some fantastic publicity, including a great segment on yesterday’s PBS NewsHour (which airs on over 300 PBS stations nationwide, reaching 98 percent of households). An additional article can be found on their website and the book is nicely featured in both. I highly encourage you to take a couple minutes to watch this and learn a bit more about his process and this book. William Wegman: Being Human is such a comprehensive retrospective of his career, and people will love getting to see some of these hidden treasures that even the artist himself had forgotten about!
This is a great holiday title for anyone who has loved his work in the past or, really, any dog lover. We expect this great publicity to keep rolling in as we get closer to the holidays.

“Culled from over three decades of Wegman’s portraits of his Weimaraners—Man Ray and later Fay Ray and her several generations of offspring—the more than 300 photos collected in this volume vividly illustrate the artist’s witty, humanist approach to his subjects. Divided into 16 themed chapters, the book showcases some of Wegman’s best-known images of the dogs alongside previously unseen gems from his personal archive.” --Publishers Weekly Starred Review
