The present collection covers Ullberg's later work, with photographs primarily taken in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Ullberg was true to the subject he loved, mainly capturing shots that adhered to his thematic interests; Towns of the West that had fallen into ruin; dramatic landscapes and nature studies, including scenes of Death Valley and Bristlecone Pines; and the changing landscape of San Francisco, with compositional juxtapositions of old and new.
Lloyd Ullberg, born in Minneapolis, was an accomplished photographer, best known for his photographs of forgotten ghost towns in Nevada, California forests, and modernist compositions of urban streets. An accomplished oboist who studied at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, Ullberg taught himself photography by spending long afternoons at the New York Public Library. His work appeared in the pages of Fortune, Vogue, and the Saturday Evening Post, and he was a staff photographer for the California Academy of Sciences.
