Barry Bergdoll

Barry Bergdoll is an art historian at Columbia University and Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.

Education

Bergdoll graduated from Columbia University in 1977 and studied at Cambridge University on a Kellett Fellowship 1977-79 before returning to Columbia to complete his Ph.D in 1986.

Academic career

Bergdoll's chief interest is architectural history, paricularly that of France and Germany since 1750. He studies architecture from an art historical approach, however, tying it to history, sociology, and culture. He has studied cultural representation in architecture, the evolution of architecture as a profession, and the intersections between artistic genres such as architecture and film. He has also worked on the problems of museumological exhibitions of architecture. Prior to joining MoMA, Bergdoll was the chair of the Department of Art History at Columbia. In 1993, he received a grant from the Graham Foundation for study on the impact of the fall of Communism on architectural teachings in Eastern Europe and Russia.

Curation

As a curator, Bergdoll has participated in several major architectural exhibitions, including "Mies in Berlin", shown in New York, Barcelona, and Berlin in 2001-3; "Le Panthéon: Symbole des Révolutions" shown in Montreal and Paris in 1989, and "Les Vaudoyers: une dynastie d'architectes" at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris in 1992. On January 1, 2007, Bergdoll succeeded Terence Riley as Chief Curator for Architecture and Design at MoMA. He is presently preparing a forthcoming exhibition at MoMA on the Bauhaus.
