Partners in both life and art, Bernd and Hilla Becher rank amongst the pioneers of conceptual photography. They met in the late 1950s: Bernd was studying painting and typography and Hilla photography. As early as 1959 they began taking documentary photographs of German industrial architecture, which was then rapidly falling into disuse, and became fascinated by the process. Their quest began in the Ruhr region, where Bernd’s father had worked in the steel and mining industries. They were attracted by the uniformity of the buildings and the design sensibility that informed them. This book is about their work "Framework Houses" in the Siegen District in Germany.
