Rotterdam in focus

Uniek overzicht van foto’s gemaakt van Rotterdam van 1842 tot nu Met beelden van meer dan 100 professionele en amateurfotografen, waaronder Iwan Baas, Eva Besnyö, Otto Snoek, Hans Aarsman en Cas Oorthuys Verschijnt bij de openingstentoonstelling van het Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam Sinds de uitvinding van de fotografie is Rotterdam vastgelegd door Nederlandse én internationale fotografen. Hoe hebben zij in die 185 jaar naar Rotterdam als stad gekeken? Door de lens van fotografen als Iwan Baan, Eva Besnyö, Otto Snoek, Hans Aarsman en Cas Oorthuys laat Rotterdam in focus zien hoe Rotterdam zich heeft ontwikkeld van bedrijvige provinciestad tot de levendige kunst- architectuurstad die we nu kennen. Met zowel historische foto’s als recent werk van meer dan 100 fotografen nodigt dit boek uit om opnieuw te kijken naar het stedelijk landschap: van verbazingwekkende leegtes tot spectaculaire hoogbouw. Het verhaal van de stedelijke ontwikkeling van Rotterdam wordt verteld aan de hand van de collecties van het Nederlands Fotomuseum, de Koninklijke Verzamelingen, Maria Austria Instituut, Nationale Nederlanden en het Stadsarchief Rotterdam.

The Magic Border

‘An embrace of a book’ Florence Welch ‘Poetry was my place, my little clearing in the forest, where I could quietly put everything I was holding. I’m not sure what gave me the courage to open up that space to you, but here I am, doing it.’

Exactitudes put it in order for me.’ — Demna, creative director of Gucci 30 years of style, identity and dress codes in 1 iconic book The final edition: more than 2000 portraits in 202 series Exactitudes – Final Edition is the culmination of a unique project that has captivated audiences worldwide for three decades.

Sharp, witty, and deeply human, this exclusive collector’s edition distils thirty years of style, identity and dress codes into one iconic book. ‘I’ve always examined how people dress. Exactitudes put it in order for me.’ — Demna, creative director of Gucci ‘Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek group together people with similar aesthetics and obsessions, generally perceived as underground or countercultural, and photograph them in neat portraits that are displayed in a three-by-four grid. The message seems clear: No matter your taste, age, or location, you’re not alone.’ — Steff Yotka, Vogue ‘They’re fantastically good at pattern-recognition – these trainers, that haircut plus, vitally, that pose.’ — Peter York, The Independent
