John Seed: Alan Bamberger: 12 Photos Of Artists And Their Art (PHOTOS)
May 16th, 2011 | Posted by Global InvestorsAlan Bamberger, the principal of San Francisco based artbusiness.com likes art openings. In fact, he likes them so much that in an average year he attends between 1,000 and 1,500 openings annually. Using a Sony Cybershot DSC-H50 camera, Bamberger makes an effort to photograph artists in front of their own works, and his Facebook Album is filled with an amazing collection of shots.
Asked about his motivations, Bamberger explains:
There are several reasons I cover San Francisco art galleries so extensively. First, I love art. Second, San Francisco has a substantial and diverse art scene and, at least in my opinion, it was getting — and still tends to get — comparatively little coverage in major arts publications.
