Показать описание
German couple and artist duo Bernd and Hilla Becher became as towering a force in postwar and contemporary photography as the massive and disappearing industrial architecture they photographed throughout Europe and North America for nearly five decades.

In works like Blast Furnaces, they took a characteristically impassive view of their subjects, such as water towers, coal bunkers, lime kilns, silos, gas tanks and factories, which they always photographed unpopulated, in black and white, under gray skies. They often printed their photos in large format, as in the present work, or in book formats; both approaches allow comparisons of structural form.

These six photographs can be yours through Heritage Auctions.
