Bernd & Hilla Becher: Basic Forms
The photographic inventory of industrial structures Bernd and Hilla Becher created during their forty year career is one of the most significant accomplishments of artistic object photography. Pursuing the concept of typology and comparative viewing they kept focusing on the same objects over and over again - water towers, cooling towers, winding towers, gasometers, gravel plants, blast furnaces, lime kilns, grain elevators - to reveal constants and variations.
