Wiegman's father and grandfather were artists as well. This upbringing lead him to study at the Rotterdam Academy of Art, from 1961 to 1965, and to become a dedicated artist himself. An article in PetaPixel referred to Wiegman as an 'art omnivore'.[2] He has works in a multitude of disciplines.
Career
Wiegman acquired fame in the late nineteen sixties as a progressive ceramist.[3] He made true-to-form rusted cans and military bags from clay. By doing so he demonstrated a combination between ‘future’ and ‘past’, with the creation of something new that was modeled after something in decay.[4]
Wiegman also placed his works in a barrel, which he left rotating for days on end.
