The photo book has had a chequered history in recent decades. Since 2005, there has also been a renaissance in the Netherlands.
This has been accompanied by the emergence of new publishers such as Fw:Books, The Eriskay Connection and Roma Publications, as well as a number of design studios specializing in photo books. Vincent van Baar is one of the best-known designers in the Netherlands, and photo books are his great passion.
He specializes in producing small quantities of the highest quality. More than 200 exciting books and zines have been created in recent years; a selection of these can now be seen in the exhibition at FOTOHOF. Curated by Vincent van Baar, this presentation in the library’s exhibition space also discusses a current trend: The traditional publishing business with large print runs and wide distribution has changed to specialized photo book fairs, often including self-publishing and distribution via the internet. Publishers, photographers and book lovers must develop new strategies for producing, distributing, viewing and purchasing books.
