“Bernd and Hilla Becher’s artwork, titled ‘Twin Water Towers,’ is a gelatin silver print photography piece that belongs to the Conceptual Art movement. This artwork falls within the photo and architecture genre, showcasing the Bechers’ distinct style of cataloging and documenting industrial structures through their lens.
The artwork comprises six black-and-white photographs, each depicting a pair of water towers. These towers are presented in a straightforward, documentary style that emphasizes their form and structure. The photographs are arranged in a grid format, which invites viewers to compare and contrast the diverse designs and conditions of the water towers. The Bechers’ methodical approach highlights the often-overlooked beauty and intricacies of these industrial monuments, reflecting their dedication to recording the architectural landscape.”
