Erwin Olaf is featured in the HART Museum's "Happy Birthday Amsterdam" as part of the AMSTERDAM750 celebrations which marks the city's 750th anniversary.
Rather than a historical overview, the exhibition is a festive ode to Amsterdam and the creatives who lived, worked and resided there. Sometimes their whole lives, sometimes just passing through, but all of them contribute(d) to the image we have of the city today. From Karel Appel to Marina Abramović to Johan Cruijff through the eyes of Marlene Dumas.
The exhibition brings together 75 artists including Olaf and Marina Abramovic and showcases a diverse collection of paintings, photographs, and sounds but will also include sculptures, textiles, and Amsterdam design, in which the artists show their view of Amsterdam.
HART are showcasing legendary (and now past) nightlife through the lens of Erwin Olaf, one of which works is on display at Hamiltons as part of our exhibition, Erwin Olaf: Bigger Than Life.
