Rotterdam in Focus

Since photography's inception, Rotterdam has been captured by both Dutch and international photographers. In that period, it has shifted from a bustling provincial city into a vibrant destination for art and architecture. With both historical images and recent work by more than 100 photographers, this book offers a new look at the urban landscape, from astonishing empty spaces to spectacular high-rises. Seen through the lens of such names as Iwan Baan, Eva Besnyo, Otto Snoek, Hans Aarsman, and Cas Oorthuys, the story of Rotterdam's urban evolution is told through the collections of the Nederlands Fotomuseum, Rotterdam City Archives, Royal Collections, and more.
