Which art books, prints and posters are available by and about this artist? Here is a sample of items of interest to a typical collector:
Erik Kessels (1966) is a Dutch artist, designer and curator with a particular interest in photography, and co-founder of Kessels-Kramer, an advertising agency in Amsterdam. Kessels and Johan Kramer established the "legendary and unorthodox" Kessels-Kramer in 1996, and Kessels Kramer Publishing, their Amsterdam-based publishing house.
He is "best known as a book publisher specializing in absurdist found photography", extensively publishing his and others' found and vernacular photography. Notable works include the long-running series Useful Photography, which he edits with others, and his own In AlmostEvery Picture. Sean O'Hagan, writing in The Guardian, said "His magazine, Useful Photography, forgoes art and documentary for images that are purely functional. ... Humour is the unifying undercurrent here as it is in Kessels Kramer's series of photo books, In Almost Every Picture".
