Description: TypologiesAuthor: Bernd and Hilla Becher Title: Typologies Publisher/Year/Edition: MIT Press/2004/First English Edition Description: Hardcover with dust-jacket; 24 pages of English text(essay by Armin Zweite) followed by 130 illustrations; Fine condition. Bernd and Hilla Bechers' photography can be considered conceptual art, typological study, and topological documentation. Their work can be linked to the Neue Sachlichkeit movement of the 1920's and to such masters of German photography as Karl Blossfeldt, August Sander, and Albert Renger-Patzsch. Their photographs of industrial structures, taken over the course of forty years are the most most important body of work in independent objective photography. This book which accompanied a major retrospective exhibition, collected all known Becher studies of industrial building types and presented them as a visual encyclopedia. Each chapter is devoted to a different structure-water towers, coal bunkers, winding towers, breakers, lime kills, grain elevators etc. The book contains close to 2000 individual images.
