Paris chairs in the ice, 1950

We’d like to think it’s a tribute by a mysterious «Guido» to the master Kertész, even if in 1950 his photographs weren’t yet famous… Kertész arrived in Paris in 1925 and photographed the chairs at the Tuileries during his early years as an apprentice. He moved to New York in 1936. | text quoted from auction house Senigallia
