On the 150th anniversary of August Sander (1876–1964), the Photographische Sammlung/Stiftung Kultur der Sparkasse KölnBonn presents a comprehensive retrospective from its own August Sander Archive, the world's largest holding of the photographer's work. Alongside the central work „Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts“, early photographs from Linz, commissioned works from the Westerwald, and, for the first time in this scope, the image group „Lichtbildwerkstatt August Sander, Köln-Lindenthal“ are on view. Further highlights are Sander's exchange with the Kölner Gruppe progressiver Künstler, his landscape and botanical work, and his 1927 trip to Sardinia with over 300 negatives. The exhibition is supported by the Kunststiftung NRW.
At 18:00 there is a curator's tour with Claudia Schubert, and at 19:00 a public tour with photo artist Frank Breuer takes place.
