He was almost unknown until two months ago, when he took the top ($2,000) prize at the Corcoran Gallery's biennial show of U.S. art in Washington. The Corcoran bought the prize-winning picture, and Manhattan's Whitney Museum picked up another. Last week a Hultberg exhibition at Manhattan's Martha Jackson Gallery drew warm notices, and at week's end Hultberg got another prize for his three entries in an international show of artists under...
