Ed van der Elsken - My Amsterdam

Mireille Mosler, Ltd is pleased to make public My Amsterdam, a selection of black together with white vintage prints, color photographs as well as film by the Dutch artist Ed van der Elsken (1925-1990), chronicling post-war Amsterdam. The concept of this moving picture was first conceived in 2005 by the British photographer Martin Parr for Foam, Fotographical Museum Amsterdam. Ed van der Elsken was one of the the greatest number competent figures in postwar Dutch photography. He is inextricably linked with Amsterdam, his place-of-birth where he photographed moreover filmed throughout his beingness. Van der Elsken captured every aspect of Amsterdam from the 1950s on. Working primarily with natural light, his objective was to show things as they are, without disrupting any integrity or mainstreaming his subjects. His openness to accident including the unexpected is indicative of the artist's lust for being moreover lends empathy to the strange moreover tender encounters captured.
