Lust for Life is the first comprehensive overview of Ed van der Elsken’s colour work. Its publication coincided with a major six month long exhibition at The Nederlands Fotomuseum, the national museum of photography in the Netherlands. The exhibition had 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.
