Robert Bergman at Yossi Milo


The breathlessly over-the-top critical support that propelled the 1998 publication of Robert Bergman's photographs of Americans on the margins (in his afterword, Meyer Schapiro called the portraits "truly profound works of art") seemed all out of proportion to the modesty and intimacy of the work itself.


A new burst of enthusiasm has resulted in Bergman's first major exhibitions—three simultaneous shows, at the National Gallery of Art, P.S.1, and the Yossi Milo gallery. It's a welcome opportunity to see what all the fuss was about.
