Ulvis Alberts Rediscovered Vintage Poker Photographs in Color at Binion's Horseshoe Casino 1977-1982.He shot mostly B/W film and some color. The B/W photographs came out as his first book “Poker Face” in 1983. And the color was forgotten in his archives. In 2012, he rediscovered this priceless color treasure! 






Exhibition Bowie: From Major Tom to Major Arcana


6th January 2020 until 21st February 2020
Masterpiece Art (London/UK)

"A case study of a rare set of five hand-pulled silkscreen prints, known as the Arcane Series, created by David Bowie in November 1975. The exhibition offers an intriguing window into the alternative influences of the mystical and esoteric that pervaded the singer’s private and public personas of the late 1960s through the 1970s." Masterpiece Art in collaboration with Ulvis Alberts Foundation.

David Bowie, Los Angeles 1975
Pigment print on paper 26.5 x 29.5 cm / 10.4 x 11.6 in Limited Edition of 10


“This 1975 photograph of David Bowie was taken at a night club in West Hollywood. Our tables happened to be close together. I pondered if to take the photograph at all because it required a flash, a big distraction for David. I took two frames for this once in a lifetime opportunity." Ulvis Alberts


 Charles Bukowski. The First 100
 

Next year the American poet and writer Charles Bukowski celebrates his 100 year anniversary. In 1976, Ulvis Alberts photographed Charles Bukowski at home in his East Hollywood apartment. One of the images from this session grew popular with the public.

And to honor the famous writer, Alberts is releasing a museum quality poster of 100 only copies, twenty signed by the photographer and the others stamped with his archival seal.

Ulvis Alberts exhibition - rare Elton John concert photographs from legendary club The Troubadour

The Troubadour is a small music club on Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood.(At the border with Beverly Hills). It draws several hundred people to see and hear new talent. In the early 1970's I saw Tom Waits and Charles Bukowski at the Troubadour but... didn't have a camera. In 1974, when I stopped by the club, I remember the owner, Doug Weston standing outside the door hustling to get the public to enter to see Elton John. Elton who? was on the faces of many of the potential audience on the sidewalk.Inside, if you got passed the small bar at the door, was the stage for Elton's piano. I got lucky with a ringside seat and table (there's also a balcony). 
And it was quickly clear with Elton at the piano that night and the Average White Band for back-up, this would be a night to remember. Elton brought the house down with some of the early songs, later to become hits. He was joined by Cher seated in the audience half-way thru the set and Elton's (one of the first) appearance in America was guaranteed to be rock history.
