FOREVER SUMMER: Miami’s Postwar image in the works of Andy Sweet, GODLIS, and Bunny Yeager

Forever Summer is a definitive photography exhibition capturing the soul, grit, and glamour of Miami’s most transformative decades. Bringing together the works of Andy Sweet, GODLIS, and Bunny Yeager, the collection serves as a visual love letter to a city where the light never fades and the season never ends.

Forever Summer explores the intersection of three distinct perspectives:

· Andy Sweet: Known for his saturated, candy-colored chronicles of South Beach in the late 1970s, Andy Sweet’s work captures the vibrant, sun-drenched daily lives of the "Old World" community that once defined the shore.

· GODLIS: Bringing a cinematic, street-photography edge to the lineup, GODLIS captures the stark shadows and haunting Art Deco geometry of the city’s iconic skyline, from the Betsy Ross to the Jefferson hotels.

· Bunny Yeager: The "Queen of Pin-up," Yeager’s revolutionary lens brought a sophisticated, high-glamour allure to the Florida coast, cementing the image of the Miami beauty in the global imagination.

“This exhibition isn't just about nostalgia,” says Milagros Maldonado. “It’s about the specific, electric energy that happens when you mix Sweet’s technicolor joy with GODLIS’s architectural grit and Yeager’s daring style. It’s the sun-drenched Miami mirage resonating in our minds—a place of Forever Summer.”

“The depth of this exhibition was made possible through the collaboration with Ed Christin,” says Isabel Pérez. “His archival insight into the Sweet, Yeager, and GODLIS collection and his commitment to preserving the authenticity of these eras allowed us to build a narrative that feels both timeless and raw.”

The opening reception will be held on May 21 at 7 pm. The artists’ estates and representatives will be in attendance to celebrate this rare gathering of Florida’s photographic titans.
