KERTÉSZ (André). André Kertész: Photographer. Paris, Musée Jacquemart-André / Institut de France, 1987. Large quarto (24 x 31 cm), illustrated publisher’s hardcover. Official catalog of the exhibition held at the Musée Jacquemart-André from December 9, 1987, to February 25, 1988. Numerous black-and-white photographic reproductions. Chronology, bibliography, and artist biographies. 176 pp. First edition of this important catalog published on the occasion of the first major French retrospective dedicated to André Kertész (1894–1985), one of the founding masters of modern photography. The book traces his entire career, from his earliest photographs taken in Hungary to his late works in New York, including his years in Paris—a pivotal period during which he had a lasting influence on humanist and street photography. The particularly extensive collection of images includes the photographer’s most famous works as well as several rarely published pieces. The catalog is accompanied by critical essays and reference material that help situate Kertész within the history of 20th-century photography. A major catalog dedicated to one of the most influential photographers of the last century. Condition: very good copy. Hardcover showing some very slight signs of handling and an old price tag on the back cover. Interior in perfect condition. Included is an original invitation to the exhibition opening organized by the Agathe Gaillard Gallery on the occasion of the presentation of *Kertész, Recent Photos* on November 5, 1980—an illustrated document that has become quite rare.
