"Camera as Passport" Ulvis Alberts

From May 14 to July 10, 2026, Galerija Birkenfelds will host an exhibition by artist Ulvis Alberts titled "Camera as Passport."

Ulvis Alberts is renowned for his portrait photographs of American actors, musicians, poker players, and other celebrities. Born in Latvia in 1942, Alberts fled with his family to Germany during World War II, later emigrating to the United States. Beginning in the late 1960s, he gained recognition by publishing his photographs in several prominent American magazines. In the context of global photographic art, Alberts’ work stands out as an archive of creative personalities and significant events. His portraits include notable figures such as Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner, Steven Spielberg, Christopher Reeve, and others.
