Bernd and Hilla Becher

We recently received a large selection of books by Bernd and Hilla Becher at the LRC.  The Becher's are considered to be two of the most influential photographers and artist of the last half century.

They are best know for their photographic typologies "the study or systematic classification of types that have characteristics or traits in common".  They basically photographed the same types of structures again and again under the same lighting conditions and distance and they created beautiful bodies of work.
