Robert Bero

BERO--Robert. Artist and printmaker, Robert Bero died peacefully at his home in Tuxedo Park, New York on Sunday, June 24. Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1941, Bero studied at the Pratt Institute (BFA) and at Yale University (MFA). He later taught at SUNY, Potsdam, Brown University and SUNY, Purchase. John Canaday of the New York Times wrote that "Bero's enormous woodcuts, years in the making and days in the printing expand the horizons of printmaking." Bero's work has been exhibited at the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, Cornell University, Yale University, the Museum of Fine Arts, Cincinnati, and the Society of American Graphic Artists. Along with his artistic contributions, Robert Bero was a valued mentor to his students and a friend to many in the Tuxedo Park area. His warmth, kindness, and endless knowledge of art will be deeply missed.
