Westport Book Shop Welcomes August Art Exhibitor Max Saperstein
The Westport Book Shop is pleased to welcome local photographer Max Saperstein as guest art exhibitor for the month of August at the Book Shop’s Drew Friedman Art Place. Max will be exhibiting a variety of photographs taken near and far, from the Westport Farmers Market to Italy, and places in between.
Mostly inspired by nature but also by architecture, Max seeks to capture beauty wherever he finds it. Max is a rising Junior at Staples High School, where he is the Photography Director of Inklings, the school newspaper. He is a second place winner of the Westport PTA’s 2023 Reflections Art Contest, and received special recognition in the Congressional Institute’s 2023 Congressional Art Competition.
Max’s photography will be on exhibit at the Book Shop through August 31, 2023. All work on display is available for purchase.
Max intends to use his proceeds to support a philanthropic photography project that he has dubbed “Max’s Magic”. Max takes portraits of children who are facing challenging situations and, using photoshop, transforms them into images of superheros or sports stars or movie characters, or however the child would like to see themselves. The child receives an uplifting inspirational photograph.
