The August Sander 10K Collection
“Does he move quickly? Does he move slowly? Every word you say, every move you make reflects on that photograph." —Tina Barney on August Sander | 📷: August Sander. “Rural Brother and Sister.” 1925-30. #AugustSanderProject pic.twitter.com/VAKntZdnbj

August Sander was a German photographer, whose work is currently featured in the Museum of Modern Art. Sander’s work was a part of a recent archiving effort called the “August Sander 10K Collection,” where his work would be made available as NFTs on OpenSea by Sander’s great-grandson Julian. According to The Art Newspaper, the only problem was that Julian Sander apparently does not own the the copyright to August Sander’s work, and thus the collection (which consisted of over 10,000 pieces of August Sander’s photos) was promptly pulled from OpenSea.
