Godspeed Erwin (1959 - 2023)

Tim Jefferies tribute to the iconic Dutch photographer

"It was with profound sadness that I learned of the death of Erwin Olaf. Erwin was a kind, compassionate, witty and wicked man. He was also a supremely talented and gifted photographer, renowned the world over and something of an icon in his native Holland.

 

Over the past two decades we held many wonderful exhibitions, shared many amusing dinners and rewarding conversations. He leaves a great void behind him, I and all of us here at Hamiltons will miss him deeply." - Tim Jefferies
