Bruce Weber Celebrates My Education (TASCHEN) and Chet Baker’s Swimming by Moonlight with an Intimate Miami Art Week Cocktail at The Moore Miami in Miami’s Design District
Bruce Weber, Nan Bush, Craig Robins, and Benedikt Taschen raise a toast to the photographer’s celebrated monograph and the debut of Swimming by Moonlight, a newly discovered Chet Baker album.
MIAMI, FL — (December 4, 2025) On Tuesday evening, acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber welcomed friends, collaborators, and cultural figures for an intimate cocktail celebration at The Moore Miami in the heart of the Miami Design District during Miami Art Week. Hosted by Weber, Nan Bush, Craig Robins, and Benedikt Taschen, the gathering marked two major moments: the release of My Education (TASCHEN), Weber’s sweeping, career-spanning monograph, and Swimming by Moonlight, a newly uncovered Chet Baker album assembled from the original Let’s Get Lost recording sessions.
Guests filled the landmark space for an exclusive, vibrant evening that reflected Weber’s lasting
imprint on contemporary culture. Artists, gallerists, designers, filmmakers, models, and community leaders came together to honor the depth and emotional resonance of Weber’s work—an influence defined as much by its tenderness, generosity, and humanism as by its unmistakable visual language. Conversations throughout the night touched on Weber’s decades-long collaborations, the rediscovery of Baker’s recordings, and the continued relevance of both artists’ contributions to photography, cinema, and music.
Notable guests included: Bruce Weber, Nan Bush, Craig Robins, Benedikt Taschen, Tyson Beckford, Martina Navratilova, Julia Lemigova, Brady Wood, Bernie Yuman, Grimanesa Amoros, Elias Becker, and Kunichi Nomura.
