Description from the seller

On the occasion of Erwin Olaf’s sixtieth birthday, this extensive publication appeared, presenting for the first time a comprehensive overview of his body of work. The monumental coffee-table book contains no fewer than 240 photographs and shows both his early black-and-white images as well as 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 an internationally renowned portrait photographer and master of carefully composed, tranquil images.

In addition to the rich imagery, Olaf also provides personal notes on his working process and themes. With his extensive technical command of the medium of photography, 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 directed. Themes such as beauty, sexuality, identity, and transience played a significant role in his work. He gained global recognition and among other things produced portraits of the Dutch royal family.

Dimensions: 31 x 24 cm
