Elliott Erwitt’s Kolor – New Edition
Author: Elliott Erwitt
Elliott Erwitt’s Kolor – New Edition is an impressive coffee table book that brings together more than seventy years of photography in sparkling, surprisingly fresh colors. This new edition presents a carefully curated selection of color photographs by one of the most influential photographers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The images come from Erwitt's immense archive of almost half a million Kodachrome slides. Spread across 304 pages, a visual journey unfolds, full of humor, humanity, and keen observation. From world leaders to showgirls, from vibrant markets to military camps, and from Las Vegas to Venice: each image carries Elliott Erwitt's characteristic dry wit and subtle sensibility.
What makes this publication special is the exceptional quality of the colors. Some photos are more than seventy years old, yet they still look intense and vibrant. They bring historical moments and everyday scenes to life in a way that feels timeless. Kolor is therefore not only a visual spectacle but also a valuable document of modern history.
This coffee table book is a must-have for lovers of photography, art, design, and visual culture, and a beautiful statement piece for any bookshelf or coffee table.
