Pickpocket, William Wegman
"Pickpocket" is an early short video work (circa 1971) by American artist William Wegman, known for his conceptual video art and photography featuring his Weimaraner dogs. In this brief, deadpan piece, Wegman's characteristic humor and minimalism are on display as he plays with the conventions of performance for the camera, characteristic of his influential 1970s video experiments.
