About the Speaker:
Vicki Goldberg is a photography critic and author. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri and earned a Master's Degree in Art History from New York University Institute of Fine Arts. Goldberg has authored several books and articles on the subjects of photography and its social history. Over the course of her career, she has written for several notable publications such as The New York Times and Vanity Fair. Goldberg's books include The Power of Photography: How Photographs Changed Our Lives; Light Matters (a selection of her essays); and The White House: The President's Home in Photographs and History; as well as editing the anthology Photography in Print: Writings from 1816 to the Present. Her first biography, Margaret Bourke-White, took an in-depth look at the life and techniques of Margaret Bourke-White, the famous photographer active in the early to mid-20th Century. This book and The Power of Photography were both included in the American Library Association's lists of best books of their respective years; Photography in Print was named by the Wall Street Journal as one of the five best of all books on photography in 2006. Goldberg has also co-written A Nation of Strangers: Essays written with Arthur Ollman and American Photography: A Century of Images written with art historian Robert Silberman, plus introductions to a number of photographic monographs.
