This auction coincides with the release of Phil Bergerson’s third monograph, A Retrospective, published by Daylight Books. The publication is a survey of his career, which started in the early 1970s when he was exploring drawing, painting, and printmaking before embracing photography exclusively. Over the past 30 years, Bergerson has travelled North America extensively, searching for remnants of a recent, yet bygone era, capturing them in tightly composed photographs that harness his mastery of colour and light, and an engaging sense of humour. Although many photographers have pointed a chastising eye at the detritus that populates the urban landscape, Bergerson’s wonderment with what he frames permeates scenes of desolation, neglect, and a sense of human striving. His work can be found in significant public and private collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, and the Harry Ransom Center in Texas. His photographs have been published in major publications, including The New Yorker, New York Times Magazine, Toronto Life and The Walrus.

This work was printed circa 2006.
