Bruce Weber is best known for his photographic series for fashion magazines such as Vogue, GQ, W Magazine, The Interview, and Vanity Fair, as well as his collaborations with leading brands like Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. His photographs often capture young women and men in athletic, bold, and intimate moments. The exhibition at the House at the Stone Bell (Prague City Gallery) will highlight not only his fashion photography but also his portrait, documentary, and landscape work, along with his music and fashion videos and feature films.
Weber has continuously photographed prominent figures from cultural and political spheres. Some of his most famous portraits include Nelson Mandela, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Louise Bourgeois.
The exhibition Bruce Weber: My Education will also explore Weber’s work in the Czech Republic, where he photographed a series with Heath Ledger in 2000. He has frequently collaborated with figures connected to the Czech Republic, such as Eva Herzigová and Martina Navratilová.
Notable works also include his photographs from Detroit and the “Little Hanoi” community in Miami. Weber is a master storyteller, one of the last “old-school photographers.” His photography often focuses on nature and animals, with a particularly famous series dedicated to golden retrievers, published in his book The Golden Retriever Photographic Society by Taschen.
