Photography as Living History

From the first photograph in 1826 to the digital present: the History of Photography is a story of constant reinvention – from looking through the camera obscura to the fine art print. This collection makes that journey visible: from the pioneers of the medium to today's photographic voices.

Pioneers of Photography

Berenice Abbott documented New York in transition and insisted that photography go its own way – not the way of painting. Robert Lebeck shaped decades of German visual history as a photojournalist, among others for Stern magazine. Both prove: a good photograph needs no trend to endure.

Glamour and Zeitgeist

Slim Aarons photographed, in his own words, "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places" – creating the defining image of post-war high society. Bert Stern revolutionized advertising photography and created one of the most famous portraits of Marilyn Monroe with "The Last Sitting."

Limited Editions of a 200-Year History

Every work in this collection is strictly limited and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Produced in gallery quality, it brings the substance of 200 years of photographic history to your wall – not as a poster, but as an edition that lasts.
