Hilla and Bernd Becher's objective photographs of industrial structures have earned them a special position in international photography. Although their work is widely collected by American dealers and institutions and shown in New York galleries, this is the first time that it has been published in book form in the United States. The Bechers' 224 photographs of water towers comprise a unique, single minded, even obsessive mission. They were taken from as many as 8 angles, over a period of 25 years,, with a stylistic approach so consistent that photographs juxtaposed from the 1950's and the 1980's suggest a minute to minute account deadpan portraits of unadorned metal, concrete, and wooden structures.
