"I met André Kertész in 1977 and acquired what became a very large, retrospective group of his photographs. André spoke about the success he was having with large-format, 20-x-24-inch prints, and I bought several including this beautiful example of Satiric Dancer, Paris. This group of Kertész photographs formed the foundation of my inventory when, in 1980, I became an art dealer." - Michael Shapiro
