"Toer", a portrait series of Toer van Schayk (28-09-1936), Dutch painter, sculptor, choreographer, danser, scenic and costume designer, at his atelier in Amsterdam. A study of an artist at work by another artist. " During my career as a dancer with Het Nationale Ballet in Amsterdam, I had the opportunity to work with Toer and take part in his dance creations. So I didn’t hesitate for a second when, many years later, I got the chance to discover his other talents. It all made Toer even more of the perfect subject for a new series.
For half a year in 2025, I visited Toer at his atelier in Amsterdam to observe and document him at work. At the age of 90, he is still creating new artworks.”
“Toer" One Picture Book Two #46, my latest photography book published by Nazraeli Press, with portraits of Toer van Schayk, has since last January 2026 found a new home in the Collection of the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam!
