The Photography of André Van Bever
Throughout his career, André Van Bever chronicled motor racing history, from Juan Manuel Fangio in 1949 to Niki Lauda in 1975, making him one of the most renowned visual witnesses of post-war motorsport.
His archive, comprising of almost 29,000 photographs, has now found its home at the Revs Institute, marking a significant milestone in its mission to preserve and celebrate the heritage of the automobile.
The images will be indexed and digitised, making Van Bever’s work even more accessible to researchers, scholars, and the motorsport community through the Revs Digital Library.
