Michael P. Berman
American, born 1956
In 2008, Berman was awarded a prestigious fellowship by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and demand for his work has increased since then. His primary preoccupations continue are human land use and issues of wilderness in the twenty-first century. He sometimes works in a straightforward photographic style, making gelatin silver and pigment prints, but continues his interested in fragmented imagery by using the same negatives to create multi-panel work.
Berman is a longtime resident of the Southwest and lives in Silver City, New Mexico. He is a 2012 recipient of the New Mexico Governor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts and his work was part of an exhibition of the honorees at the Governor’s Gallery at the state capital (opened September 14, 2012).
