Background information
"In their 40 years of work, Bernd & Hilla BECHER (1931-2007/ 1934-2015) have focused again and again on the same motifs - winding towers, blast furnaces, gas tanks, water towers ... - creating what is today an invaluable photographic encyclopedia of industrial buildings.
Content
Following the concept of typology and comparative vision, the 61 photographs in the book 'Grundformen / Formes Élémentaires' capture the entire spectrum of BECHER's motifs representatively and in characteristic 'portraits'." (© Schirmer / Mosel Verlag, 2019)
