Robert Bergman, who I wrote about a couple of years ago, is having a much deserved revival this fall. After his knock-out inclusion in the MoMA exhibition, The Printed Picture, Bergman is having three major shows this November at Yossi Milo, PS1 and the National Gallery in DC.

UPDATE: Bergman's PS1 show opens Oct. 25th and runs until Jan. 4th. There is an excellent interview in this month's Brooklyn Rail, which you can read here.
