Andre Kertesz - Birds - 1979

THIS IS THE LAST EXCLUSIVE PHOTOBOOK AUCTION by 5Uhr30.com in 2025 - with more than 100 great lots from my personal collection and from recent acquisitions. FANTASTIC EARLY WORK by genious Hungarian photographer André Kertész (1894-1985) with "Birds" as overarching theme. With his very personal images André Kertész skillfully succeeded in capturing the fleeting, emotional moments in his environment. His works had a pronounced influence on artistic photography in the mid-twentieth century and on artists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and Brassaï. Three important periods mark his oeuvre: Budapest (1914-25), Paris (1925-36), and New York (1936-85). Like always 5Uhr30.com guarantees detailed and accurate descriptions, 100% transport protection, 100% transport insurance, and of course, combined shipping - worldwide.

Condition: Inside fresh and clean with no marks and with no foxing. Outside a bit yellowed (like often); neat bump at the bottom right corner of the front cover (and of the pages). Overall very good condition. Smart, widely unknown small book by André Kertész. A must-have for every fan of the genius photographer. 5Uhr30.com says MANY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT THIS YEAR - making our single-seller photobook auctions on Catawiki so successful. Ecki Heuser & team are wishing ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND YOURS for 2026.
