Camera As Passport at Icebox Gallery

Friday, November 04, 2011 - Saturday, March 03, 2012

Ulvis Alberts will be exhibiting thirty of his most iconic B&W images for the very first time in the mid-west. Many of the images in this exhibit are vintage silver-gelatin, signed and numbered prints in an edition of 10. The title of this exhibit is CAMERA as PASSPORT.

Ulvis Alberts was born in Riga, Latvia and immigrated to the U.S.A. with his family from a “displaced persons” camp in Ravensburg, Germany in 1949. “My first photographs were in the streets of Seattle in the late l960’s. My father, a painter and architect gave me my first camera, a $100 Pentax with a 50mm lens.” He said, “go out and make money!”

In 1973, on the basis of his short and documentary films, he was invited to audit the filmmaker’s program at the American Film Institute in Beverly Hills. He moved to Los Angeles, worked on films and photographed some of the most celebrated movie personalities of the 1970’s and early 1980’s. They included: Groucho Marx, Christopher Reeve, John Wayne, Peter Sellers, Nick Nolte, Jack Nicholson, Jack Lemmon, Paul Newman and others.

“I planned on returning to Seattle, but Hollywood doors opened up a bit and my still camera became a “visit card.” He ended up living and photographing there for 17 more years.

Exhibit opens and Ulvis Alberts will be in the gallery during the Northrup King Building’s Art Attack 2011.
