In the life of André Kertész
The whole lifelate 1961
Breaks his contract with Condé Nast
Toward the end of 1961, after a minor dispute, he breaks his contract with Condé Nast Publishing and starts doing his own work again; this begins the “International period” in which he gains worldwide recognition. During these years he produces a number of new books and recovers some of the negatives he had left in France decades before.
1962
Exhibitions in New York and Venice
His photographs are shown at Long Island University, his first exhibition since the Chicago show, and in Venice.
1963
A gold medal at the Venice Biennale; a show in Paris
He is one of the invited artists of the IV Mostra Biennale Internazionale della Fotografia in Venice and is awarded a gold medal for his dedication to the photographic industry; later in 1963 his work is shown in Paris at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. He later visits Argentina to see his younger brother Jenő for the first time in years.
