Our house In November 1945, the "Archiv für Kunst und Geschichte" (akg-images) was founded in Leipzig as a photo press agency by the journalist and art collector Wilfried Göpel. Over the decades, it was run as a family business with a clear focus on collections (etchings and engravings, documentary and historical photographs). Still family-run, the main office of akg-images is situated in the southwestern part of Berlin. In 1994 and 1995, our akg offices in London (www.akg-images.co.uk) and Paris (www.akg-images.fr) were opened. Today, akg-images holds a total of over ten million images - more and more of which can be viewed online. The main emphasis of the images we offer lies on art and civilization. Throughout the past decades, akg-images additionally acquired archives and collections and trough the continuous partnership with numerous photographers managed to build one of the most important collections of contemporary auteur-photography. Erich Lessing, Tony Vaccaro and Paul Almasy are among those whose oeuvre is represented by akg-images through exhibitions and publications. Our services
