Although Erwitt's works span several decades and continents as well as numerous themes, they are always instantly recognisable. His spontaneous and original visions speak of true artistry without ever appearing artificial.

The Coffee Table Book presents the most important works of the popular Magnum photographer, resulting in a collection of exciting photographs that make you smile but also make you think. Erwitt himself selected the photographs that he considered to be his best. Anyone leafing through this carefully edited retrospective will be filled with a nostalgic mood, a sense of wonder - and an enduring feeling for the richness of life.
