Submitted by 99Prints

Roberta Fineberg’s work from 2010-present includes photopolymer intaglio prints, nightscapes (Light Play), and an iphoneography diary from which she sources images for printmaking. Her black and white photographs (gelatin silver prints) from the 80s-90s have been exhibited in the U.S., France, and Russia, and are in private and public collections, such as the Bibliotheque Nationale and Bibliotheque Marguerite Durand (Paris, France). For Curate NY 2013-2014 Guest Curator Linda Michael, Senior Curator, Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne chose one of the photographer’s new works for an online exhibition. Fineberg is an award-winning photographer who also in 2002 received an original work grant from the Dept. of Cultural Affairs in New York.

Boston born photographer Roberta Fineberg became an American expat in Paris during the mid 1980s-1990s. She traveled often to cities, capturing tales within them which included people, places, and things. Often not on assignment she surreptitiously documented old and new worlds, three cosmopolitan cities – Paris, Moscow, and New York – that have grown more alike than different in post-Modern times. Roberta Fineberg’s series “A Tale of Cities” bears witness to a stubborn conviction by an artist to prioritize and document personal observation and stories through an unplanned visual diary.
