Hochöfen (Blast Furnaces). 1971. Collotype. 45 x 32 cm. Signed and numbered "98/300" by the photographers in pencil in lower margin, number notation in pencil on the verso. - - Bernd and Hilla Becher, the influential German conceptual artists and photographers, collaborated throughout their careers to document industrial architecture with remarkable precision and consistency. They are best known for their extensive typologies of structures such as water towers, blast furnaces, and framework houses, often presented in grids to highlight formal similarities and regional variations. Their work, characterized by its objective style and conceptual rigor, significantly influenced the development of contemporary photography and led to the founding of the Düsseldorf School of Photography, shaping the practices of subsequent generations of photographers. – In excellent condition. - - Sollten Sie detailliertere Zustandsberichte wünschen, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte. / Should you need more detailed condition reports, please contact us.
