Bernd and Hilla Becher's (German, 1931 - 2007, b. 1934) unwavering archival mission has been to document the obsolete industrial architectural landscape of Europe and North America. Bernd and Hilla Becher's artistic project not only changed the role of documentary photography to art, but their work influenced a generation of photographers such as Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Candida Hofer and Thomas Struth.
In addition to numerous solo museum exhibitions, Bernd and Hilla Becher participated at Documenta, the San Paulo Biennial and the Venice Biennial, where in 1991 they received the Leone d'Oro. Most recently, the Dia Foundation installed a permanent exhibition of Bernd and Hilla Becher's work at Dia:Beacon.
