Bernd and Hilla Becher, a husband-and-wife team who spent five decades making rigorous and reverential pictures of industrial architecture, were among the most influential photographers of the second half of the twentieth century. Their work broke through the previously rigid firewall between the worlds of photography and contemporary art.
Fuelled by their shared idiosyncratic interests, the Bechers began making pictures together in the industrial areas surrounding Düsseldorf in 1959. They were married two years later. Almost immediately, they landed on a signature style, from which they barely wavered for the rest of their careers. Most recognizably, they used an unwieldy large-format camera to make highly detailed, black-and-white images of isolated pieces of industrial architecture across Europe, the U.K., and the U.S.
The book 'Typologies' is a good introduction to their work, a sort of greatest hits compilation album.
