He has been the recipient of many awards in regional and national shows for his large abstract paintings. In a 1992 Boston Globe review of a retrospective of his work, Nancy Stapen wrote of Bageris as "a gifted figurative artist who shifted to abstraction in the mid 70s." His work contained "a strong flavor of Giacometti" and was "about nature, feeling, energy, and pictoral space." His works are currently held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Bageris taught at the Art Institute of Boston for nearly 20 years. He also worked an instructor of Painting & Drawing at the School of Visual Arts, the DeCordova Museum, and Brooklyn Museum Art School.
