Image series of the week
News
Every week, the top image bar on the prometheus homepage changes, giving a first visual impression of the image series of the week. The themes are usually inspired by current exhibitions, such as this week’s ‘Germaine Krull: Chien Fou. Author and Photographer’ at the Museum Folkwang in Essen. We often take an aspect of the exhibition or the artist’s work for the short presentation.
If you are logged in to prometheus, you can also click directly on the corresponding image collection to find more images on the topic. The eight thumbnails are also clickable. The corresponding data record in the image archive will be displayed directly.
