Michael Oberman
Author and Photographer
Michael Oberman’s photographs are on permanent display in U.S. National Parks including Steigerwald and Modoc and in museums including the Utah Museum of Natural History and the Ontario Science Centre (Toronto).
Six photos are on a five year tour of U.S. and Canadian museums in an exhibit called “Imaginate”…under the auspices of the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto (where the same six photos are on permanent display).
Before photography, he spent his life in the “music business.” Michael started as a music columnist for the Washington Star and a six year period interviewed more than 300 major recording artists…including David Bowie, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, James Brown…the list is too long for this page. He later worked for a record company and managed artists. Now he is back to his true love: Photography.
In 2019, Oberman was signed to a publishing contract for a book about his life in the music business. He spent eight months writing “Fast Forward, Play, and Rewind.” It will be out on October 15, 2020 in the U.S. and December 1 in Great Britain. (adapted from web site)

Andreas Nottebohm
Andreas Nottebohm
Andreas Nottebohm, born on October 13, 1944, in Eisenach, Germany, is a German-American artist and pioneer known for his groundbreaking work in metal painting. His career is defined by an innovative approach that combines polished metal surfaces, light, and color to create artworks that challenge traditional perceptions of depth and space. Nottebohm’s artistic journey began at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where he studied under the surrealist painter Mac Zimmermann. He then deepened his knowledge of etching with Johnny Friedlaender in Paris and studied lithography in Salzburg, Austria. During this time, he began using metal as a medium and discovered the unique reflective and transformative properties of the material.
In 1978, Nottebohm held his first exhibition in the United States, where his work was highly praised by critics. This led him to settle in the San Francisco Bay Area, which remains his creative home to this day. A significant milestone in his career occurred in 1981 when NASA commissioned him to create official paintings for the first Space Shuttle mission of the Columbia. This collaboration established him as a visionary artist, seamlessly blending themes of science, technology, and the cosmos with his unique artistic techniques. Nottebohm is particularly renowned for using polished aluminum and other metals as his canvases. His process involves polishing, etching, and painting metal surfaces to create dynamic works that interact with light and change depending on the viewer’s perspective. His art evokes a sense of cosmic wonder and is often compared to the Op Art and visionary art movements.
Nottebohm’s works are featured in prestigious institutions worldwide, including the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, the Kennedy Space Center, the Crocker Art Museum, the Nevada Museum of Art, and the Museu de Arte Moderna in Rio de Janeiro. Over the course of his career, he has presented more than 100 solo exhibitions across Europe and the United States. In 2011, the University of Arizona honored him with a major retrospective that highlighted his innovative contributions to contemporary art. In recent years, he has collaborated with musician Pete Sears on a decade-long project that combines his metal artworks with experimental music, expanding the sensory dimensions of his art.
Nottebohm’s ability to transform metal into dynamic, light-reactive artworks has redefined the possibilities of this medium. His works bridge the gap between art and science, inspiring viewers to explore the interplay of light, space, and imagination. With a career spanning decades, Andreas Nottebohm has established himself as a true visionary, leaving a lasting impact on the art world.
He has had over 150 one-man shows. His paintings have been shown in galleries and museums worldwide, including the Smithsonian Museum and the Crocker Museum in Sacramento, Ca. Over the years the value of his artwork in one-of-a-kind original format has steadily increased. Crocker Museum curator observed that Nottebohm “teases the eye and challenges the mind.”
