A Gesture of Gratitude to Erwin Olaf
Dear friends,
I am honored to share that the full proceeds of Homage Erwin Olaf (Palm Springs) — €2,250 — have now been donated to the Foundation Erwin Olaf.
This work, released in a limited edition of 10 + 2 APs at a reduced price, was conceived as a gesture of gratitude — both personal and artistic. The donation supports the Foundation’s mission of freedom of expression, inclusion, and new generations of creatives, including working grants for students from MBO schools.
This work, Homage Erwin Olaf (Palm Springs), is my personal tribute to Erwin — my dear friend and mentor. Created in Palm Springs, where Erwin once photographed his iconic series, Homage Erwin Olaf (Palm Springs) reflects my gratitude for his influence and friendship. To me, it feels meaningful to contribute in this way, in the lead-up to Erwin Olaf: Freedom opening at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (October 11, 2025 – March 1, 2026).
The edition is now complete: 9/10 have been placed, with edition 1/10 reserved for museum acquisition.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this edition, and to the Foundation for continuing Erwin’s vision.
