The issue of LIFE including the Sony advertisement from which Berman détourned a photograph of a hand holding a compact transistor radio.Berman is best known for his series of Verifax collages made using an appropriated advertisement for Sony published in this June 12, 1964 issue of LIFE magazine-one of the most widely read publications in mid-century America. The quintessential image of a handheld transistor radio became Berman's signature motif. Using a Verifax machine, a proto-photocopier, he superimposed a wide range of found images onto the radio's rectangular front panel, which he often repeated in grids of anywhere from four to fifty-six. Combining several forms of mass communication-radio, magazine, photocopy-these serial images speak to Berman's interest in the transmission of popular culture. .
