LhGWR has invited six people to show their favourite photo books. Two of them had yet to be installed when i visited. At that moment Flip Bool, Paul Kooijker, Peter van Beveren and Christian Caujolle showed their treasures.
They are all art professionals with a great love for photography and books. The combination can make you even happier.

Presentations by Suzanne Swarts and Reyn van der Lugt will be installed soon, or are already installed while you are reading this.
In the basement the exhibition Vincent van Baar: My name in 100 colophons, in a well chosen combination with the main exhibition, shows works by students of Vincent van Baar’s at the photography department of the Royal Academy in The Hague.
All publications were made by them for midterm and final exams.
For everyone who loves photography, book design and in some cases quite literally feeling in your hands the combination of form and content, these two shows are a must.
