Andy Sweet. Where the Summer Never Ends

Step into 1970s Miami Beach through Andy Sweet’s vivid photographs. Where the Summer Never Ends captures Jewish retirees and the city’s LGBTQ+ community, offering a warm, candid glimpse of life by the sea. About Miami Beach, and by extension the entire Florida coast, began to change rapidly in the late 1960s. Along with social change, American photography was also undergoing significant shifts, breaking away from the previously dominant humanist documentary themes and aesthetics. These changes are also evident in the work of Andy Sweet (1953–1982), a photographer from Miami Beach: in his photographs, hidden themes emerge from behind the sun-tanned bodies in the “sun and fun capital of the world” Photography
