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.
