[MORRISON, Toni] BERGMAN, Robert. A KIND OF RAPTURE. New York: Pantheon, 
(1998). First Edition. Folio (9-1/2" x 11-3/4") bound in black cloth. 
Introduction by Toni Morrison and afterword by Meyer Schapiro, the only 
text in this absolutely stunning collection of color photographic 
portraits, mostly of street people, which Schapiro says "bring to mind 
some of the greatest painted portraits." Bergman created his own color 
separations, using high-resolution digital equipment, for these 
photographs which were taken with a simple 35 mm camera, amateur film, 
no tripod, and no special lighting. Of this, his first book, Morrison 
states, "Occasionally there arises an event or a moment that one knows 
immediately will forever mark a place in the history of artistic 
endeavor. Robert Bergman's portraits represent such a moment." 
Obviously, no light praise and well deserved once you see these truly 
amazing photographs that have the power to stop you in your tracks. Fine 
in a Fine dustwrapper. (#008486)        $100.00
