The Icon Photographic Materials Group is delighted to announce, as part of Icon24 Conference, a day event at Getty Images Hulton Archive, one of the largest and oldest privately held archives globally.
With access to over 135 million images dating back to the beginning of photography – and beyond - the Getty Images archive houses a wealth of socially significant, historical photos, footage and prints and in addition to its wholly owned collections, includes content from a wide number of editorial content partners including Gamma-Rapho, Paris Match, The Bettmann Archive and Sygma. For this event, the Archive’s staff, including curators and the conservator, will give attendees a special customised tour of the archive facility including their renowned vintage collections.
Tea/coffee will be provided to attendees.
