Peter Wegner is an American artist whose work subverts expectations and realigns perceptions. His massive installations often appear painterly, for example, while his photographs have a strong affinity with architecture.
In both interior and exterior spaces, Wegner works in dialogue with the site. His permanent large-scale installations for the Stanford University campus reveal an artist closely attuned to architectural spaces.
Painting, sculpture, installation, collage, artist's books and photography are all part of his practice.
Notable solo presentations include Lever House and The Bohen Foundation in NYC and Museum der bildenden Kunste in Leipzig DE.
Permanent museum collections include The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Yale University Art Gallery, The San Jose Museum of Art, The Albright-Knox Art Gallery, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, The J. Paul Getty Museum, The University of Colorado Art Museum, The UNC Ackland Art Museum, and The Henry Art Gallery at UW. Significant private collections include Collezione Panza, Varese IT; Lever House, NY, NY; and Sammlung Rosenkranz, Berlin DE.
