--
"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. In all its burnished majesty his gallery refuses us unearned solace ad one by one by one each photograph unveils us, asserting a beauty, a kind of rapture, that is as close as can be to a master template of the singularity, the community, the unextinguishable sacredness of the human race."
Toni Morrison, in her introduction to A Kind of Rapture
A Kind of Rapture brings together a selection of 51 color photos from Robert Bergman's two-year travels by car through the Rust Belt (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Gary) and the East Coast, taking color pictures of everyday people who moved him profoundly. In fall 2009 and spring 2010, Robert Bergman will have his first two solo exhibitions at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. and PS1 MOMA. The exhibition at the former will run from October 11, 2009 to January 10, 2010; that at the latter from October 25, 2009 to January 4, 2010.
"[Bergman's] finest works bring to mind some of the greatest painted portraits...He has introduced the processes of unification, as in a painting, with the search for harmony, movement, variety, ad distinction within it, beyond what I have ever seen in a photograph...Here are masterful revelations of states of existence in the inner and outer persontruly profound works of art."
Meyer Schapiro, in his afterward to A Kind of Rapture

Description:
Volume and glossy, price unclipped DJ are in "As New Condition." From the front DJ flap, "For more than ten years, Robert Bergmann - a brilliant artist who has purposefully withheld himself from the mainstream - has traveled by car with two friends, for months at a time, throughout the Rust Belt...and the East Coast, taking color pictures of everyday people who moved him profoundly. Even as he used a simple 35-mm camera, amateur film, no tripod and no special lighting, his was a monumental, Whitmanesqe project: to document the physical appearance and spirit of Americans at the approach of the millenium, and to gauge the climate of our times."
