Framed Photograph of Olympic Swimmer John Sauerland by Bruce Weber
About the Item
This striking black and white photogravure by Bruce Weber, printed in 1988, captures a quiet, sculptural moment from his celebrated series on athletes from the 1983 Summer Olympics. Depicted is Olympic swimmer John Sauerland, shown from behind—his strong upper back just emerging from the lower edge of the frame, his wet hair tousled into a moment of perfect imperfection. The composition is intimate yet monumental, emphasizing form, discipline, and beauty through Weber’s signature lens of quiet sensuality. The piece is presented in a custom-made black leather frame with a gold leaf filet—elegant, refined, and perfectly attuned to the image’s understated drama. We also have a companion piece from the same series featuring an Olympic fencer; together, they make a compelling and poetic pair. Ideal for those who appreciate the intersection of sport, art, and photography, this work channels both the physical rigor and the reflective solitude of elite athleticism.
Photograph comes with a certificate of authenticity mounted to the back of the frame.
