Peter Berlin’s Work To Be Featured In Month Long Exhibition

Artist, photographer, and gay icon Peter Berlin is having his work exhibited for the entire month of October at Magnet in San Francisco. They're using an interesting angle to publicize the event, calling Berlin "The Master of the Selfie."

Peter Berlin was decades ahead of his time - the master of the SELFIE!

Before the advent of the Digital Selfie phenomena, Peter created thousands of Self Portraits in film, when the whole process of film photography required time and skill that we take for granted with instant digital photography. Peter spent hours preparing for each shoot - setting up the camera, creating the outfits, developing the negatives and printing the photos himself. This level of self-portraiture has unlikely ever been matched in the pre-digital era of photography.

Peter Berlin - The true master of the SELFIE.

His work with Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Tom of Finland cemented his legacy as a gay icon, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for anyone in or near the Bay Area. More information, including when Berlin will be appearing in person, can be found over at the gallery's Facebook page.
