Biography

Born in 1939 in New York City During his career, Hollander has gone through several professions and has lived in various parts of the world, including Thailand, Costa Rica, and France, where he now stays.[6] His passion for sailing took him on a three-year trip across the sea, visiting sea ports around the world and witnessing the life of people who still make their living from the sea in the old traditions. The trip was documented in the 150-minutes video story The Last Sailors: The Final Days of Working Sail, narrated by Orson Welles.[7]

Hollander lives and works in Paris.
