Framed Photograph of Olympic Decathlete Mike Storm by Bruce Weber
About the Item
Printed in 1988, this black and white photogravure by Bruce Weber comes from his evocative series of portraits of athletes from the 1983 Summer Olympics. The subject, Olympic decathlete Mike Storm, stands facing the camera—shirtless, poised, and gazing upward with quiet intensity. He wears crisp white fencing knickers and holds an épée lightly in his right hand. What sets this image apart is its extraordinary monochromatic composition: Storm’s pale skin, white pants, and platinum blond hair nearly dissolve into the light-toned background, creating a ghostly, almost ethereal presence. It’s a masterclass in tonal subtlety and restraint, where the athlete becomes both figure and atmosphere. The work is custom framed in black leather with a gold leaf filet—elevating its quiet power with understated luxury. A companion piece, depicting Olympic swimmer John Sauerland, is also available; together they form a contemplative and visually arresting pairing, exploring strength, stillness, and the poetry of form.
Photograph comes with a certificate of authenticity mounted to the back of the frame.
