This publication presents a collection of photographs taken by Bertien van Manen in various mining towns: Wakefield and New Sharlston, Yorkshire (United Kingdom, 1970s), Most (Czech Republic, 1980s), the Appalachian Mountains (United States, 1980-1990s), and Apanas, Siberia (Russia, 1990).
Author Marcia Luyten (Het Geluk van Limburg, 2018) interviewed Bertien van Manen especially for this publication. The result is a particularly personal portrait of Bertien, aptly expressing her childhood and her relationship to Heerlen - including the miners' life.
Gluckauf is published in cooperation with Fw: Books and is distributed by Ideabooks. The publication is also available in the museum shop at SCHUNCK.
