Noah (Neil) Folberg was an American-Israeli photographer and gallery owner. Born in 1950 to Joseph Folberg, owner of a successful gallery in San Francisco, he moved to Israel in 1976, where he began to photograph a series of color images of desert landscapes in the south. Those—together with pictures taken in the Sinai desert and Jordan—appeared in his first book, “In a Desert Land.” Additional books were published with his pictures.
Folberg’s photographs have been included in several exhibits at leading museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Library of France (in Paris), the Smithsonian in Washington, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, LACMA, the Art Gallery of Yale University, the Tel Aviv Art Museum, and the Israel Museum.
