The August Sander Archive comprises the estate of the German photographer August Sander and is part of the collection of the Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur , Cologne. The photographic work has been looked after there since 1993 with a large number of original photographs, negatives and documents.

history

When August Sander died, his son Gunther Sander took over the estate. After his death in 1987, his son Gerd Sander initially managed the artistic legacy before he sold it to the Kulturstiftung der Stadtparkasse Köln (now SK Stiftung Kultur der Sparkasse KölnBonn ) in December 1992, equating it with the name August Sander Archive . Since then, the estate and with it the August Sander archive has been looked after by the Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur in Cologne and processed according to scientific museum criteria.

All rights of use existing on August Sander's work have been transferred to the Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur. These are held exclusively by the Photographic Collection / SK Foundation for Culture, without restriction in terms of location, content and time. The rights are administered in cooperation with VG Bild-Kunst , Bonn.

When the estate was purchased, it included around 10,700 original negatives, around 3,500 original prints , the original correspondence, the private library as well as furniture and parts of the photographic equipment. Through targeted purchases, more than 6,000 original prints by August Sander are now part of the archive of the Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur. It is the world's largest collection of August Sander's work. Other important collections with original prints by the photographer are in the J. Paul Getty Museum , Los Angeles, the Museum of Modern Art , New York, the Pinakothek der Moderne , Munich, the Museum Ludwig Cologne / Photography Collection and the Museum of Art and Industry Hamburg .

From 1992 to 1996 the August Sander Archive was located in St.-Apern-Straße 17-21, Cologne, after which it moved to the premises in Im Mediapark 7, Cologne.

With the establishment and sale of the August Sander Archive to the Kulturstiftung der Stadtsparkasse Köln in the 1990s, Gerd Sander laid the foundation for an institution from which the Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur could develop; an institution that is primarily dedicated to factual, conceptual photography in the artistic field. Gerd Sander was chairman of the advisory board of the Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur until 2008. Other important German holdings were specifically attached to the institution, such as the Bernd and Hilla Becher Archive, bundles of Albert Renger-Patzsch , Karl Blossfeldt (in collaboration with the University of the Arts, Berlin ) and the former collection of the DGPh . International photography holdings were also added, with a large bundle of photographs by Jim Dine at the center .

tasks

One of the main goals of the Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur is to provide scientific support and processing of the August Sander Archive. The tasks correspond to the ethical guidelines for museums of the ICOM . August Sander's estate is being preserved from a museum conservation perspective, and if possible supplemented by new acquisitions, researched and presented to the public in the form of publications and changing exhibitions. Mention should be made here of Sander's central project People of the 20th Century , which is available in book form and has been presented several times in exhibitions. Overall, these activities contribute to the regional, national and international art and culture offerings and appeal to visitors from all areas of interest as well as experts. No permanent exhibition on the work of August Sander is shown in the exhibition rooms of the institution, but works from the August Sander archive are regularly included in the changing exhibition program.

August Sander Prize

The August Sander Prize was first announced in December 2017. It is linked to the idea of ​​promoting young contemporary artistic approaches in the sense of factual, conceptual photography. Against the background of the important portrait photographs by August Sander, the photographic works of the applicants should primarily relate to the subject of the human portrait. Eligible are artists up to 40 years of age, of international origin, with a focus on photography. The prize is endowed with 5,000 euros and is linked to a possible exhibition in the Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur in Cologne. From now on, the award will be presented every two years; the first winner is Francesco Neri from Faenza , Italy.

Exhibitions

View of the exhibition “August Sander - Masterpieces. Photographs from 'People of the 20th Century' "

From the stock of the August Sander Archive, exhibitions are regularly drawn up that are dedicated to individual aspects of August Sander's oeuvre. The exchange with regional and international institutions is very important at this point. This is supported by many exhibition projects carried out in cooperation as well as an extensive loan system. Since 1992, well over 100 exhibitions have been organized in this way.
