As New (book, print and slipcase all in flawless, pristine condition). From the publisher: "Bernd and Hilla Becher have profoundly influenced the international photography world over the past several decades. Their unique genre, which falls somewhere between topological documentation and conceptual art, is in line with the aesthetics of such early-twentieth-century masters of German photography as Karl Blossfeldt, Germaine Krull, Albert Renger-Patzsch, and August Sander. Industrial Landscapes introduces a new aspect to the Bechers' photography, one that will surprise connoisseurs of their work. Whereas their previously published works concentrated on isolated industrial objects, they now show huge industrial sites amid their natural surroundings. They move away from the objective, severe image to present slightly more narrative, interpretive images of the industrial environment as a whole. Although the photographs in Industrial Landscapes were taken over the past forty years, they are published here for the first time. The industrial structures shown include a wide range of coal mines, iron ore mines, steel mills, power stations with cooling towers, lime kilns, grain elevators, and so on. They represent industrial regions in Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and the United States (Alabama, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania). Bernd and Hilla have been working together as photographers since 1959. They have received numerous awards, including the Golden Lion at the 1990 Venice Biennale, the 2002 Erasmus Award [and the 2004 Hasselblad Award]." Signed by Author.

Seller's Description:
Reader copy; Collectible. Large format softcover exhibition catalogue. Signed by Hilla Becher on the half-title page. Some age-toning to edges of covers, as usual for this paperback. A few signs of light wear to corners and edges. A few pages damp-rippled at lower corner, and some tidemarking from an apparent spill affecting the lower edge of binding. This is present, but is not distracting, and does not affect the images on the plates. Signed by the photographer when the exhibition was mounted in Cleveland.
