Artist's book / assemblage / compilation. Offered here is the unique creation of Eugene Bergmann, who for almost 35 years was Senior Exhibit Designer at New York City's American Museum of Natural History. He applied his design skills to this artistic literary creation. Components are: (1) 10 x 16 inch box, housing all other components, which is a converted Apple Macintosh containerboard case with custom paper labels affixed to cover and spine, (2) 9.5 x 13 inch portfolio housing a 24-panel accordion version of an English translation of Mallarme's great poem that is 17.5 feet long when unfurled, (3) - (6) four smaller versions of same, three of which measure roughly 5 x 7.5 inches and the other 6 x 8.5 inches, (7) a repurposed 9 x 11 inch box with Eugene Bergmann's address label which houses a half-inch high stack of photocopies of various Mallarme poems and scholarship. All components somewhat worn but clean and sound; one of the smaller accordion versions is bumped at the corner.
