akg-images has been appointed as the exclusive global agent for the Werner Forman Archive collection.
The Archive is among the finest photographic records of civilisation and cultures from around the world, consisting of more than 11,000 photos of historical and cultural importance ranging from the Stone, Bronze and Iron ages to the New World indigenous peoples.
The images of art, tools, sculpture, iconography and architecture make the Werner Forman Archive collection a valuable narrator of human activity through the ages and around the world, as well as a key image source for publishers, galleries and museums.
“akg-images is proud to have the trust and confidence of Werner Forman’s heirs and to provide a fitting home for this important collection,” commented Jonnie Léger, md of akg-images London. “Our goal is to become the most important source of imagery depicting world cultures, alongside our current status as the most extensive source of art and history imagery. Werner Forman Archive’s content is an integral part of our vision.”
