ANDRE KERTESZ : LIFETIME OF PERCEPTION. A PHOTOGRAPHY MONOGRAPH. SIGNED by ANDRE KERTESZ on the title page. Published by Prentice Hall Canada / A Key Porter Book, Ontario, Canada, 1982. First Edition, so stated. This is the TRUE FIRST EDITION, published in Canada to "celebrate the opening of an exhibition of the CANADIAN CENTRE OF PHOTOGRAPHY documenting seventy years of creative work by the master of photojournalism, Andre Kertesz." (Quoted from the statement on the copyright page.) Hardcover book, no dustjacket, embossed silver printing on the front cover and spine, 10x11.5 inches (25x29 cm), 259 pages. Illustrated throughout with b&w photographs by Andre Kertesz. VERY GOOD condition, no dj as noted above, the covers' corner tips have some worn and there is slight wear to the spine ends, otherwise tight, bright, clean and unmarked. A solid, very nice copy. Online I was able to find some photos of Kertesz at the Canadian Centre of Photography in 1982. From a Getty Images website I found the following caption beneath a photo (capitalizations are mine for emphasis): "ANDRE KERTESZ stands in front of a couple of his works on display at the CANADIAN CENTRE OF PHOTOGRAPHY on Markham St. The 88 year old PHOTOGRAPHER WAS THERE AT THE WEEKEND TO AUTOGRAPH THE BOOK, A Lifetime of Perception, a hard cover publication containing 150 photographs from his retrospective; a record of human experience from youth to old age." Sadly, Kertesz died only three years after his Canadian retrospective. Rare, True First Edition, SIGNED at the 1982 Canadian Retrospective which he attended, and which this book was produced to accompany.
