Current Affairs Czech-born photographer Werner Forman dies in London
The widely respected Czech photographer Werner Forman, who settled in Great Britain in the late 1960s, died in London on Saturday. His work took him to many parts of the globe and reflected the best and worst of the world around him – from atrocities committed in concentration camps to precious works of art. He wrote about 40 books on ancient and oriental cultures and his archive contains some 15,000 photographs of archaeological sites, architecture and art from the great museums and private collections from all over the world. Ruth Fraňková spoke to Werner Forman’s long-time colleague and friend Martin Heller:
