Thanks to the generosity of Wolfgang Wesener, inMotion is pleased to offer a private child portrait commission in the silent auction.  Enjoy the experience of having a unique child portrait created for you and your family.

German-born Wolfgang Wesener—known as “wowe” in the art world—moved to the United States in 1984, where he began chronicling the New York nightlife scene for Details Magazine, Vanity Fair, the New York Times and the London Observer.  He also has photographed celebrities such as Madonna, Andy Warhol, Frank Zappa, Susan Sontag, Keith Haring, William Burroughs, Merce Cunningham and members of Run-D.M.C. during his 12-year relationship with Germany’s FAZ-Magazin. Another side of wowe’s work can be seen in his interest in child portraiture, and he looks forward to collaborating with you to create a beautiful photograph of your child.
