This book is a comprehensive monograph and retrospective on Bernd and Hilla Becher, renowned for their photographs of industrial structures across Europe and North America. Over five decades, they captured industrial architecture in countries such as Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Great Britain, and the United States. The book showcases their iconic Typologies, depicting water towers, gas tanks, and blast furnaces as sculptural forms. Additionally, it includes Bernd's early drawings, Hilla's individual work, and personal notes. The volume features insights from cultural historian Lucy Sante and an interview with the artists' son, Max Becher. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and distributed by Yale University Press, this book accompanies an exhibition held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
