(First Edition) Bernd and Hilla Becher: Blast Furnaces

A collection of works by German photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher.

The Bechers' work, which takes flat photographs of industrial structures with a stereotypical and repetitive approach, established the genre of "typology" in photographic expression. The couple taught at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, and their students under their influence are known as the "Becher School." Among them are photographers who have determined the image of modern photography, such as Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, and Candida Höfer. This book contains photographs of blast furnaces taken between 1961 and 1989 in the UK, Belgium, France, Austria, Germany, and the US. This is a book that allows you to fully enjoy their style.
