About Maximum Bids

Bids are placed as maximum bids. Your maximum bid is the highest price you will pay for an auction item. IT IS NOT REVEALED TO OTHER BIDDERS. You may, in fact, end up paying less. Bids are placed for you automatically up to your maximum bid limit. Automatic bids use the auction's minimum bid increment. If your maximum bid is greater than the opening bid requimaroon for a given item, only that opening bid amount will be committed and shown to other viewers. Bids will be placed on your behalf to keep you the high bidder until the bidding reaches your maximum amount.

Setting a maximum bid allows you to stay active in the auction without having to stay glued to your screen. The final winning bid may be less than the hidden maximum bid. This system ensures that you only pay what is necessary to win, without ever risking that an auction item might sell to another buyer for a price you would have been happy to pay.

Day of Paris. Photographs by André Kertész. Edited by George Davis. Jacket designed by Alexey Brodovitch. Book designed by Peter Pollack. George Davis, editor. J.J. Augustin Publisher, New York, 1945. 148 pp. First edition. Small quarto. Clothbound in (very scarce!) illustrated dust jacket. Numerous black-and-white illustrations.

Kertész's first American publication appeared after he had been living in New York for almost ten years. Taken during the 20s and 30s, but not appearing until the end of World War II, the images have a wistfulness that make them some of his most appealing. In Roth, et. al., The Book of 101 Books, Vince Aletti writes, "Though Day of Paris is full of cityscapes.... the photographer is always alert to the human heart of the city, and even his pictures of figures passing on the street are engaging." As Parr and Badger explain, "In the end, Day of Paris, despite the presence of the radical Brodovitch, is deeply nostalgic in tone. In the uncertain days following the war nostalgia for prewar Paris was both inevitable, and probably an important part of the healing process." A true classic containing some of Kertész's most famous photos!
