Twenty years ago there was an artist in New York named Mike Berg who made efflorescent, wall-sized patterns out of found materials. At one point he painted a series of Fleur-de-Lys on the walls of a West Side waterfront building. The work which Rudolf Stingel, the subject of a modest retrospective now on view at the Whitney, did last year looks exactly like the old work of Mike Berg.
