The first award winner has been announced
Die Photographische Sammlung/ SK Stiftung Kultur is pleased to announce that Francesco Neri has been selected as winner of the first August Sander Award, donated by Ulla Bartenbach and Prof. Dr. Kurt Bartenbach.

The August Sander Archive, and with it the photographer’s estate, has been part of Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur since 1992.
