Where We Live: Photographs of America from the Berman Collection

Where We Live: Photographs of America from the Berman Collection. "...The Getty Museum's photographs department was created in 1984 with the acquisition of a number of exceptional American and European private collections. More recently, a new generation of visionary collectors — exemplified by Nancy and Bruce Berman — has left its mark on the Museum.
Since 1998 the Bermans have donated nearly 500 photographs to the Getty, transforming the Museum's collection of contemporary American color photography. Bruce Berman is also a founding member of the Photographs Council, a group that supports the Museum's contemporary photography programs.
This show includes photographs by 24 of the more than 100 photographers whose work the Bermans have acquired over 15 years of collecting. The broad theme they seek in the works they collect is life in the United States."
