Mr. Wilson's Cabinet for Wonder quedó entre las obras finalistas para ganar el Premio Pulitzer y el National Book Critics Circle Award. El libro Everything that Rises recibió, en 2007, el premio de crítica del National Book Critics Circle Award. Sus libros recientes incluyen una edición muy aumentada de Seeing is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees, que recopila treinta años de conversaciones con Robert Irwin; el volumen True to Life: Twenty Five Years of Conversation with David Hockney; Liza Lou (una monografía sobre ); Tara Donovan, el catálogo de la exposición reciente del artista en el Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo de Boston, y Deborah Butterfield, el catálogo para una encuesta sobre la obra del artista en la Louver Gallery de Los Ángeles.

Weschler ha sido profesor en prestigiadas universidades de Estados Unidos, como Princeton, Columbia, UCSC, Bard, Vassar, Sarah Lawrence, New York University, donde ahora es escritor distinguido en el Carter Journalism Institute. Recientemente ha trabajado como director emérito del Instituto para las Humanidades de Nueva York en la universidad de esta ciudad, de donde ha sido colaborador desde 1991 y director de 2001 a 2013. En este período ha intentado iniciar su publicación semianual sobre escritura y cultura visual, Omnivore. Es también director artístico emérito, aún activo, del Festival de Humanidades de Chicago y curador para New York Live Ideas. Es editor asesor para McSweeney's, Threepeeny Review y Virginia Quarterly Review; curador invitado de la publicación trimestral Wholphin; hasta hace poco, jefe del Sundance Documentary Film Fund (antes Soros); y director de la Sociedad Ernst Toch, dedicada a difundir la música de su abuelo, quien fue un aclamado compositor que migró de Weimar a Estados Unidos. Recientemente comenzó a escribir la columna mensual "Pillow of Air" en The Believer. Una vez, el general chileno Augusto Pinochet, encontrándose una edición portuguesa del libro de Weschler sobre las torturas en América Latina (1990), en un centro comercial de Río de Janeiro, luego de pasar sus ojos por las páginas unos momentos, dijo: "Mentiras, puras mentiras. El autor es un mentiroso y un hipócrita". (es)

He is a two-time winner of the George Polk Awards—for Cultural Reporting in 1988 and Magazine Reporting in 1992—and was also a recipient of the Lannan Literary Award (1998). His books of political reportage include The Passion of Poland (1984); A Miracle, A Universe: Settling Accounts with Torturers (1990); and Calamities of Exile: Three Nonfiction Novellas (1998). His “Passions and Wonders” series currently comprises Seeing is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees: A Life of Contemporary Artist Robert Irwin (1982); David Hockney’s Cameraworks (1984); Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonder (1995); A Wanderer in the Perfect City: Selected Passion Pieces (1998); Boggs: A Comedy of Values (1999); Robert Irwin: Getty Garden (2002); Vermeer in Bosnia (2004); Everything that Rises: A Book of Convergences (February 2006); and Uncanny Valley: Adventures in the Narrative (2011). Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder was shortlisted for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award; and Everything that Rises received the 2007 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism. Recent books include a considerably expanded edition of Seeing is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees, comprising thirty years of conversations with Robert Irwin; a companion volume, True to Life: Twenty Five Years of Conversation with David Hockney; Liza Lou (a monograph out of Rizzoli); Tara Donovan, the catalog for the artist’s recent exhibition at Boston’s Institute for Contemporary Art, and Deborah Butterfield, the catalog for a survey of the artist’s work at the LA Louver Gallery. Weschler has taught, variously, at Princeton, Columbia, UCSC, Bard, Vassar, Sarah Lawrence, and NYU, where he is now distinguished writer in residence at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. He recently graduated to director emeritus of the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU, where he has been a fellow since 1991 and was director from 2001–2013, and from which base he had tried to start his own semiannual journal of writing and visual culture, Omnivore. He is also the artistic director emeritus, still actively engaged, with the Chicago Humanities Festival, and curator for New York Live Ideas, an annual body-based humanities collaboration with Bill T. Jones and his NY Live Arts. He is a contributing editor to McSweeney’s, The Threepenny Review, and The Virginia Quarterly Review; curator at large of the DVD quarterly Wholphin; (recently retired) chair of the Sundance (formerly Soros) Documentary Film Fund; and director of the Ernst Toch Society, dedicated to the promulgation of the music of his grandfather, the noted Weimar émigré composer. From 2013 to 2014, Weschler contributed “Pillow of Air,” a monthly column in The Believer dedicated to “Amble through the worlds of the visual.” In October 2021, in collaboration with editor and cartoonist David Stanford, Weschler launched the Substack newsletter WONDERCABINET, described as a "Fortnightly Compendium of the Miscellaneous Diverse", taking up many of the same themes as his earlier column.
