Collaborative artists Bernd and Hilla Becher are renowned for their photographic typologies, or systematic classifications, of industrial architecture. Their purposely “objective” point of view was featured in the groundbreaking 1975 exhibition The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape (which also included Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, and Joe Deal, whose work is also on view in this installation), and they influenced a new generation of contemporary photographers, in particular Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, and Candida Höfer, all of whom studied with Bernd at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
