We are aristocratic, well-bred: a cultured and civilized couple. I have never had to work a day in my life. We have always been affluent.

Rich and Poor

The photographs in this exhibition constitute a shocking and gripping portrait of contemporary America. Jim Goldberg's photographs of rich and poor people, with the subjects' own handwritten comments about themselves on the prints, give us an inside look at the American dream at both ends of the social scale. His pictures reveal his subjects' innermost fears and aspirations, their perceptions and illusions about themselves, with a frankness that makes the portraits as engrossing as they are disturbing.
