Black cloth boards, black illustrated DJ. Lovely, moving color photographs throughout. Showcases work by American photographer Robert Bergman (b. 1944), who took these photographs with "a simple 35mm camera, amateur film, no tripod, and no special lighting." The pictures are a result of months of car travel throughout the Rust Belt (Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Gary) and the East Coast, presenting "everyday people who moved him profoundly." (dj) With an introduction by Toni Morrison and an afterword by Meyer Schapiro.

A Kind of Rapture, which is certain to be a classic work of photography, brings together the first selection from Bergman’s epic enterprise. Having taken, developed, and printed his own pictures since the age of five, Bergman has now, for A Kind of Rapture, created his own color separations, using high-resolution digital equipment, in an effort to exercise more control over the quality of reproduction than photographers have ever had. Bergman and his colleagues have helped define a new paradigm for art-book publishing—each and every image in this book is extraordinary for its fidelity to the artistic sensibility that informs its original print.
With an introduction by Toni Morrison and an Afterword by Meyer Schapiro

About the Author
"Every now and then, the art world offers up an unlikely story, and Robert Bergman's is one of them. He was born in New Orleans and raised mostly in Minneapolis. He began taking and developing snapshots at age 6, and save for a few teenage years he has strived to be a great photographer-artist ever since. But he has remained an out-of-step one, isolated from contemporary tastes, a cult figure to the few who have seen his work in person or in a 1998 book. The 65-year-old photographer went his own way over the past four decades, never selling a work until two years ago, but he nevertheless is about to burst onto the scene with two museum exhibitions, and next month he will have his first show at a commercial gallery, Yossi Milo in Chelsea, New York City."
—Judith H. Dobrzynski, The Wall Street Journal
