The first comprehensive, posthumous monograph and retrospective on
Bernd and Hilla Becher, best known for their photographs of
industrial structures in Europe and North America For more than
five decades, Bernd (1931-2007) and Hilla (1934-2015) Becher
collaborated on photographs of industrial architecture in Germany,
France, Belgium, Holland, Great Britain, and the United States.
This sweeping monograph features the Bechers' quintessential
pictures, which present water towers, gas tanks, blast furnaces,
and more as sculptural objects. Beyond the Bechers' iconic
Typologies, the book includes Bernd's early drawings, Hilla's
independent photographs, and excerpts from their notes,
sketchbooks, and journals. The book's authors offer new insights
into the development of the artists' process, their work's
conceptual underpinnings, the photographers' relationship to
deindustrialization, and the artists' legacy. An essay by
award-winning cultural historian Lucy Sante and an interview with
Max Becher, the artists' son, make this volume an unrivaled look
into the Bechers' art, life, and career. Published by The
Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press
