Michael Dweck

Art Brokerage: Michael Dweck American Artist: b. 1957. He is a visual artist known for his suggestive photographic style. The concept of the beautiful, and the aesthetics of beauty are important themes in much of his work, which he explores through figurative and abstract means. In 2003, he was the first living photographer to have a solo show at Sotheby's in New York. He had a 2003 solo show at Sotheby's in New York and the 2004 first published book of his photographs titld The End: Montauk, N.Y., published by Harry N. Abrams. The 5,000-print run was sold out in less than three weeks. The brisk sell-out of the book was attributed to its local interest, the beauty of the photography, and the allure of the nude models. Snoecks published a series of Dweck's work titled Sex Bombs which features photographs of nuclear and other military missiles. Dweck also produced another project that features oversized Polaroid instant camera pictures, called Giant Polaroids: Pin Up. The Polaroids were taken with a rare Polaroid 20x24 large format camera. Dweck has authored a 2011 pictorial book, Habana Libre, about the privileged class in modern Cuba. The book includes rare interviews with the sons of Fidel Castro and of Che Guevara, and it focuses largely on the "creative culture" of Cuba. Listings wanted by Art Brokerage.
