Daryl, Golden Beach, Miami

1989

A classic Bruce Weber gelatin silver print depicting a muscular shirtless male figure reclining on a large beach ball against a backdrop of spiky tropical foliage, captured with Weber's signature naturalistic yet charged sensibility. Shot at Golden Beach, Miami in 1989, the image typifies Weber's celebrated fusion of physique photography, homoerotic undercurrent, and mainstream commercial aesthetics. The work belongs to a limited edition of 10 and is presented in a dark navy frame with cream mat. It occupies a significant place within Weber's body of work that references the lineage of George Platt Lynes and Wilhelm von Gloeden while remaining accessible to broad audiences.
