(American, 1963 – )
I’m often drawn to systems that are in some sense encyclopedic, systems that purport to deal with all of something. That impulse is irresistible and futile in equal measure.” – Peter Wegner
Peter Wegner strives to give order to the barrage of information that confront us daily, taking inventory of the unremarkable and classifying the perceptual experience, while directly approaching the consequence of color and form. Wegner’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Guggenheim Museum, NY; The Museum of Modern Art, NY; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA and The Yale University Art Gallery, CT and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
