Thanks to his great technical know-how and boundless craftsmanship, the Dutch ceramicist Geert Lap (1951-2017) left an oeuvre that is cherished around the world in many museums and private collections. This book is the result of a unique photo project. Erik and Petra Hesmerg spent years travelling the world to document Geert Lap’s work. They were granted exclusive access to the homes of private collectors and their photographs bear witness to the diverse and sometimes astonishing combinations the collectors created to exhibit Lap’s work in their homes. Access to the artist’s private archive was given to Titus M. Eliëns. His biographical essay provides na insight into the life and work of this perfectionist pur sang, who devoted his life to the consummate ceramic form.
