Preparation Plants, 1966-1974
Bernd and Hilla Becher collaborated on a lifelong project to document industrial structures across Europe and the USA, often before they fell into disrepair. By classifying their subjects into types, the resulting typologies highlight the form and function of each structure, revealing subtle similarities, differences, and recurring architectural details.
A typology of nine framed photographs depicting views of Preparation Plants at nine different coalmines across the UK.
