Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago from March 7 through May 24, 2014. Presents "Andre Kertesz: 'Raison d'Etre': Photographs From The Concerned Photographer Exhibitions 1967-69". The fifth, and most comprehensive, publication by Stephen Daiter Gallery on the photographic art and achievement of Andre Kertesz. His participation in the eponymous - and eleemosynary: The Concerned Photographer shows helped establish the International Center for Photography (ICP) - exhibitions was sweet confirmation of the photographer's stature as one of the greatest photographers of the time. By the time Kertesz immigrated to the United States in 1937, he was already a well-known artist/photographer in Europe, and (rightly) expected to be greeted with the critical acclaim and financial success that a figure of his stature deserved. Instead, his work was completely ignored. Kertesz was forced to eke out a living by doing commercial work for House & Garden Magazine. It was not until the prescient John Szarkowski gave him a one-man show at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 1964, a posthumous-like, twenty-seven years later, that he finally achieved the recognition that he enjoys to this day. There are critics, scholars, dealers, and collectors who consider Kertesz to be the greatest photographer of the 20th century. Full stop. "The camera is my tool through which I try to give a reason to everything and to every happening around me. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel this rhythm is the raison d'etre" (Andre Kertesz). All great art compels us to slow down, tarry, take our time; transports us to another temporal reality and immerses us in it, which Andre Kertesz's best photographs do. An absolute "must-have" title for Andre Kertesz collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: This Exhibition Catalog was not sold to the public. It was given as a keepsake/souvenir to Andre Kertesz print collectors only. A scarce copy thus. 97 plates.

Presents "Andre Kertesz: The Mirror As Muse". Some of the photographer's celebrated portraits using a distorted mirror. They are among the most sensuous and elegant female nude photographs ever taken in the medium's history. The remarkable achievement of Andre Kertesz's "Distortion Series" is that the resulting images make one forget about the technical feat involved and is transported to another world, as the photographer intended, the closest any 20th-century artist/photographer has come to an Adult Wonderland Through A Looking Glass.

This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.

There are critics, scholars, dealers, and collectors who consider Kertesz to be the greatest photographer of the 20th century. Full stop. Kertesz called his long American obscurity, "The Lost Years", when instead of giving up, he persevered and "developed a body of work that visually distilled his isolation and anxieties, creating subdued and poetic photographs. Photographs that asked New York to slow down and hear a whisper among the shouts. And he remained true to his vision" (Paul Berlanga). All great art compels us to slow down, tarry, take our time; transports us to another temporal reality and immerses us in it, which Andre Kertesz's best photographs do.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. Dust Jacket Condition: Neuf. Edition originale. New York, 2005. 1 volume/1. -- NEUF/NEW -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée pleine toile sous jaquette transparente . Format "carré" 13,2 x 13,5 cm ( 256 gr ). ------- 160 pages. *************" When Hungarian photographer André Kertész did not have access to an enlarger early in his career, he made contact prints instead. And he became quite adept with this size, creating miniature images with incredible depth and sophistication. A real feeling of youth and artistic exploration dominates these pictures, which span from 1912 to 1925. From the very joyous experiments with his brother, Jeno, in the countryside, to his idyllic romance with Elizabeth, from his portraits of WWI soldiers, to his later hospital stay as he convalesced from a wound, we witness Kertész explore different photographic interests and subjects. In order to compose for such a small format, Kertész needed to ground his images in strong lines and geometry, forging the hallmarks of his later modernist vision. Thus, the Hungarian Contacts, as they are called, chronicle not only Kertész s coming of age as a man, but also his development as an artist. Before emigrating to the U.S. in 1936, Kertész left the contact prints with an agent in Paris, who was later forced to flee the city under Nazi occupation. She buried the cache of tiny works in a makeshift bomb shelter on a farm in southern France. Kertész lost contact with her, and decades passed before the agent re-discovered Kertész because of his Bibliothéque Nationale exhibition in Paris in 1963. Thankfully, she led him to the site where he recovered the still-buried treasure. Though some of the Hungarian Contacts were part of the National Gallery of Art s 2004 retrospective and though Kertész enlarged some of the images in his later years, a broad selection of them are presented together here as art objects in their own right and in the size that Kertész originally intended for them. The book commemorates an important show of the work at Silverstein Photography in New York City and includes an engaging personal essay by Robert Gurbo, the curator of the estate. This new volume presents the Hungarian Contact Prints many unpublished before now in a wonderfully small format that enchants and refreshes. "" DENISE WOLFF ***************** ref 142a.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 127 pages. Complete collection of the photographer's Polaroid photographs. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Laura Lindgren: Small-size volume format, in keeping with the square shape of the Polaroid photograph. Photographs by Andre Kertesz. Text by Robert Gurbo, Curator of the Andre Kertesz Estate. Foreword by Eelco Wolf, the then Executive Director of the Polaroid Corporation. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper by Mondadori Publishers through EBS in Verona, Italy to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Published on the occasion of the travelling exhibition held in major galleries in Toronto, Chicago, and New York from 2007 through 2008. Presents "Andre Kertesz: The Polaroids". The penultimate body of work by one of the "true greats" of 20th-century photography. "We see a still-fertile mind at work, combining personal objects into striking still lifes set against cityscape backgrounds, reflected and transformed in glass surfaces" (Robert Gurbo). 53 of the Polaroid images first appeared in "From My Window" (1981), the last original body of work Kertesz published before he died in 1985 (glorious retrospectives dominated his last published books). The present volume posthumously presents the Polaroids in their entirety, notably a semi-"Distorted Mirror" image of Susan Nash, the stunningly beautiful wife of rock music legend Graham Nash, who were major collectors of his work, as well as Robert Gurbo himself in his playboy-handsome youth. Martin Parr was right to point out how, through the Polaroid camera, Kertesz made a very late shift from black-and-white to color successfully: They do look like authentic color imagery rather than black-and-white rendered in color (which tonal change Robert Frank believed he could never have pulled off nor wish to even attempt). An absolute "must-have" title for Andre Kertesz collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, dated, and inscribed (in Dutch) in red ink-pen on the title page by the former Executive Director of The Polaroid Corporation, who wrote the Foreword: "June 27, 2009 Voor mijn vriend Carl, door dir e door dun! Eelco" (Literal translation: "For my friend Carl, through and through! Eelco [Wolf]"). It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Carl, the recipient, a great photographer in his own right, and close friend of Kertesz, then very prominently, discreetly, and beautifully signed his name in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper: "Chiarenza". This title is a great art photography book. This is the only such double-signed, dated, and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare, one-of-a-kind signed copy thus. 81 plates. Andre Kertesz's "Day of Paris" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ANDRE KERTESZ TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). Signed by Author(s).…
