Gas Tanks

Bernd & Hilla Becher

Gas Tanks

description

"The Bechers' industrial vision has become an essential part of the way we see today; their head-on, deadpan photographs of pithead gear, water towers, and blast furnaces have for more than 30 years expressed a serenely cool, rigorous approach that reduces the individual structures they photograph to variations on an ideal form. In this, their latest work, the Bechers present four principally different forms of gas holders or gas tanks in 102 photographs taken during the years 1963 - 1992 in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, and the United States." -- from interior flap cover. Includes a brief explanatory text by the Bechers.
