August Sander: Masterpieces

August Sander (1876-1964)

Synopsis

This book features 60 subjects from August Sander's renowned work, "People of the 20th Century," along with 100 additional images from his extensive project. These portraits aim to create a typological composite image of his era, captured from the 1910s to the 1950s. Unique to this edition are reproductions based on vintage prints authorized by Sander, faithfully replicating his original tonal values and croppings for the first time. The images are sourced from collections such as the Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur in Cologne, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.
