Description

This jewel-toned box set includes each of Erwin Olaf’s Aperture monographs: a copy of the first edition of Erwin Olaf, published in 2008 and currently unavailable in bookstores; and a copy of Erwin Olaf: Volume II, released in 2014. Accompanying these are two representative prints of images selected from Volume II. The two prints, created at a smaller size than Olaf’s typical editions, offer a tantalizing amuse-bouche for fans of this artisan of atmosphere, who uses high polish to both perverse and seductive effects.

Each pigment print in this box set was printed by the artist’s studio under the supervision of the artist and is signed and numbered by Olaf.

About the Artist

Erwin Olaf (b. 1959, Hilversum, The Netherlands; d. 2023, Groningen, The Netherlands) was a Dutch photographer known for his highly stylized, daring, and often provocative work addressing social issues and taboos. He was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Johannes Vermeer Award (2011), a Lucie Award (2008), and Photographer of the Year in the International Color Awards (2006). Among other accolades, Olaf received the commission to design the new national side of the Dutch Euro, launched in 2013. In 2008 and 2014, Aperture published volumes one and two of Olaf’s self-titled monographs. Erwin Olaf: I Am was published by Aperture in 2019 to accompany the most extensive retrospective of his work to date, a multiple-venue show that encompassed installations at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; Gemeentemuseum Den Haag; and Fotomuseum Den Haag.
