"This elegant book unites all of the known carte postale prints by the photographer Andre Kertesz (1894-1985), including portraits, views of Paris, careful studio scenes, and exquisitely simple still lifes. Essays shed new light on the artist's most acclaimed images; themes of materiality, exile, and communication; his illustrious and bohemian social circle; and the changing identity of art photography. Playful yet refined, the book's design reflects the spirit of 1920s Paris while underscoring the modernity of the catalogue's more than 250 illustrated works. Kertesz made his rigorously composed prints on inexpensive but lush postcard stock, sharing them with friends and sending them back to family in Hungary. The works reveal the artist learning his craft as he encountered an international group of modernists-including Piet Mondrian, Fernand Leger, and Joseph Csaky-in the interwar metropolis. Prized by collectors as well as by Kertesz himself, the cartes postales influenced his compositions and the intimate scale of his picture making for decades."--Provided by publisher.

The accessibility and familiarity of a postcard makes it an artistic medium rich with potential for subversion, appropriation, or manipulation for political, satirical, revolutionary, or playful intent. The inexpensiveness of production encourages artists to experiment with their design; the only artistic restriction: that it fits through the mailbox slot. Unlike traditional works of art, the postcard requires nothing more than a stamp for it to be seen on the other side of the world. Made of commonplace material, postcards invite handling, asking to be picked up, turned over, and shown to friends--to be included in our lives. The World Exists to Be Put on a Postcard features postcards, several reproduced at actual size, designed by notable modern and contemporary artists, including Carl Andre, Eleanor Antin, Joseph Beuys, Tacita Dean, Gilbert & George, Richard Hamilton, Susan Hiller, Richard Long, Bruce Nauman, Yoko Ono, Dieter Roth, Gavin Turk, Mark Wallinger, Rachel Whiteread, and Hannah Wilke, many of which are published here for the first time. Organized thematically into chapters, such as "Graphic Postcards," "Political Postcards," "Portrait Postcards," and "Composite Postcards," this book demonstrates the significance of artists' postcards in contemporary art.
