Art season brightens summer in Shanghai

The fourth Bund Art Season, jointly organized by Fosun Foundation, the Bund Financial Center, and Yuyuan Garden Malls was unveiled on July 27. A series of events will go on until Aug 25.

One of the first events to open was the new exhibition of William Wegman entitled Favorite Models, which features Wegman’s most representative photographs taken with his dogs. These portraits show dogs in sunglasses, hats and various outfits with seemingly human expressions.

Pet owners were encouraged to bring their dogs along to see the exhibition on the opening weekend, when the Bund Financial Center was open to dogs and other pets, too.

An integral part of the project, Boom Art Festival is taking place on two consecutive weekends along Fengjing Road by the Fosun Foundation through Aug 4.
