Description

Nieuwe en aangevulde editie van het ultieme overzichtsboek van Erwin Olaf, een van Europa's belangrijkste fotografen.

Dit vuistdikke overzichtswerk van fotograaf Erwin Olaf (1959-2023) toont zowel zijn vroegste zwart-witbeelden als zijn iconische vrije werk, tot aan series die hij maakte in Shanghai en Palm Springs. Het chronologische overzicht beschrijft de unieke visie van de kunstenaar en zijn evolutie tijdens de afgelopen vier decennia, van brutale provocateur in het Amsterdamse nachtleven tot koninklijke portrettist en meester van de verstilling. Olaf beheerst de kunst van de fotografie tot in de kleinste finesses en biedt een wrang, indringend commentaar op de context van zijn werk.

De publicatie bevat een introductie door Wim van Sinderen (Fotomuseum Den Haag) en teksten van Francis Hodgson (professor Culture of Photography aan de Universiteit van Brighton), Mattie Boom (Rijksmuseum Amsterdam), Laura Stamps (Kunst­museum Den Haag), W.M. Hunt (auteur en voormalig fotogalerist) en Lesley A. Martin (Aperture).
