In honor of Erwin Olaf’s sixtieth birthday,
Erwin Olaf: I Am presents the first
comprehensive survey of his work, bringing together his earliest images in black and
white with his now-iconic color work, including selections from his most recent and
heretofore unpublished series shot in Shanghai. This chronological presentation
traces the evolution of the artist from cheeky provocateur to royal portraitist, as well
as the refinement of his unique vision and stylistic panache over the last four decades.
Interspersed among the various series is a wry, incisive commentary by Olaf on the
contexts of and inspirations for his work.
The book is published to accompany the largest retrospective of Olaf’s work
to date, a multiple-venue show that will encompass installations at the Rijksmuseum,
Amsterdam; Gemeentemuseum Den Haag; and Fotomuseum Den Haag. Launching
in February 2019, the show will subsequently travel to other venues in Europe,
Shanghai, and the United States.
