ANDRÉ KERTÉSZ (1894-1985)

Only three other vintage prints of Paul Arma's Hands are known. Two have been located in the following institutions: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, holds one on carte postale, exhibited in Of Paris and New York, 1985; and the Julien Levy Collection at the Art Institute of Chicago holds a print, similar in size to the present lot, but cropped tightly at left, eliminating the cuff. A third print, in a similar size but mounted on facsimile vellum, was sold at Christie's New York, Twenty Years: Celebrating Galerie Zur Stockeregg, Zürich, in October 1999.
