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.

Michael Roberts Original Photograph "Michel Greek Toga" Hamilton's London, 1989
By Michael Roberts
Located in Palm Springs, CA
PLEASE NOTE: This original photo from the amazing Michael Roberts exhibition at Hamilton's Gallery in London, England of "Michel in a Toga" was used in promotional pieces for the exhibit. It is signed/ nuymbered 1/25, but this is the actual photograph from the exhibit, and no other image was made/printed. IT IS AN AMAZING IMAGE. * This image of Michel wearing a sheer greek key toga. He is nude underneath and although subtle, it is a nude. Michel was a high fashion male model thet Michael Roberts adored and used him for many fashion campains for Joeph's London. A rare large black and white hand printed silver gelatin photograph of Michel by the legendary fashion icon, Michael Roberts, London. This image was part of a Michael Roberts show in 1989 at Hamilton's gallery, London. Signed on back. Black metal simple frame. Image: 15" x 19", framed: 22' x 26". This image was in the gallery show in London.The images from the show are very rare and now highly sought after and collected after Mr. Robert's death. two images were purchased from that Exhibit. The second one, "Nude of Michel" is available on separate listing. We hope they are purchased together as they were hung next to each other in the exhibit. MICHAEL ROBERTS: The preferred medium of the fashion journalist Michael Roberts was Canson art paper, which he scissored freehand into crisp-cut collages, or snipped into minute dots to reassemble into mosaics, for magazine covers or book illustrations. His art, bit by bit putting it together, reflected his life in fashion. He wrote about it, commissioned unexpected others to do so, photographed for media and ads, and charmed cranky legendary lensmen into snapping for him. He could source the clothes, choose the crazy locale, stage the shoot’s story, and write a witty critique of the enterprise. He was also always the most elegant person involved, effortlessly cool. Roberts, who has died aged 75, never bothered with a résumé, since every new role or venture seemed to just develop, but they totted up to a serious career. He was a writer on the Sunday Times in the 1970s, when new couture catwalk drama and heightened designer celebrity demanded a fashion voice that was both theatre critic and gossip columnist. Then from 1979 he was art and style director of Tatler magazine, when the editor, Tina Brown...
