Description from the seller
On the occasion of the sixtieth birthday of Erwin Olaf, this extensive publication appeared, in which the photographer for the first time presents a comprehensive overview of his oeuvre. The monumental coffee-table book contains no fewer than 240 photographs and shows both his early black-and-white photographs and his famous autonomous works and most recent creations.
The book offers an impressive insight into Olaf's artistic development over four decades: from his early years as a provocative and rebellious photographer in Amsterdam's nightlife to his later role as internationally renowned portrait photographer and master of carefully composed, still images.
In addition to the rich imagery, Olaf also provides personal commentary on his working process and themes. With his great technical mastery of the photography medium, he combines aesthetic perfection with sharp and often piercing commentary on identity, beauty, desire and societal conventions.
Erwin Olaf (1959–2023) was an internationally renowned Dutch photographer, known for his meticulously staged photography in which every detail was carefully choreographed. Themes such as beauty, sexuality, identity and transience played an important role in his work. He gained worldwide recognition and made portraits of the Dutch royal family, among others.
Dimensions: 31 x 24 cm
Signed and dated
Viewings are, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framer's workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore, we use restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, of course we would be happy to hear from you."}
