Die Photographische Sammlung is the SK Stiftung Kultur organization's photography museum, usualy styalized as Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur. It includes an archive of August Sander's photographs. It is located in Cologne, Germany.[1]

History

Main article: August Sander Archive

The museum was founded in 1992 following SK Stiftung Kultur's purchase of the archive of August Sander's photographs[2] from Gerd Sander, August Sander's grandson.[3]

On February 10, 2022, claiming fair use, Julian Sander, August's great-grandson released the entire August Sander's photography archive online as almost free (other than a small admin fee) non fungible tokens (NFT) made available via the OpenSea NFT marketplace, before SK Stiftung Kultur issued a copyright infringement notice to OpenSea stating that it held the copyright of the archive until 2032.[3]

Activities

The museum sometimes lends the photographs from the original archive for exhibits about Sander, his work and that of his contemporaries.[4][5] The museum was one of the organizers of the Bernd & Hila Becher show at the Met Museum in 2022.[6]

The collection includes over 30,000 photographs from around the world.[7] In 2021 the museum published From Becher to Blume:Photographs from the Garnatz Collection and Die Photographische Sammlung-SK Stiftung Kultur, in Dialogue.[8]
