LUST FOR LIFE

Lust for Life is the first comprehensive overview of Ed van der Elsken’s colour work. Its publication coincides with a major six month long exhibition which opens at the end of May at The Nederlands Fotomuseum, the national museum of photography in the Netherlands. The exhibition has only been possible as a result of the largest photo restoration project in Dutch history – with more than 42,000 slides of van der Esken’s work now carefully restored. The book is published as a collaboration between Dewi Lewis Publishing, Lecturis and the Nederlands Fotomuseum. Design is by leading Dutch designers Kummer & Herrman.
