"Bernd & Hilla Becher History of a Method" exhibition in Köln

For the first time in Europe, this exhibition will present the methodological and thematic range of their oeuvre in great detail with over 300 original black and white photographs and other exhibits by the artist couple. In the individual sections, almost all of Becher's found subjects can be located in a compilation and sequencing largely determined by themselves. Photographs of landscapes, winding towers, blast furnaces, cooling towers, gas tanks or even views of entire collieries etc. are considered her trademark. The juxtaposition of the groups of works authentically conveys the pictorial grammar developed by Bernd and Hilla Becher and their continuously reflected systematics and conceptual approach.

I saw a large exhibition of the Bechers' work, I think at the Met Museum in New York about 3 years ago. Possibly similar content to this one. Highly recommend it. Of course, for many artists you gain an appreciation when you see a large collection of their work, rather than just 2-3 pieces among others. But I think this is especially true for the Bechers' project.
