IKS photo archive and collection

 

The IKS collection is a photographic archive and focuses on documentary and artistic photography in Europe and the USA since the 1970s. Over the past 20 years, the IKS has been able to acquire important holdings through its continuous work with international photographers.


The speciality of the archive lies in its view on the medium itself and its development since the 1970s from documentary to artistic work. The IKS's holdings are to be preserved, but above all used in exhibitions. Through this use of the works, they are placed in current contexts and form the basis of the archive's own exhibition concepts.
