Additional Details: This first-edition poster highlights the iconic work of Hilla and Bernd Becher, renowned for their typological studies of industrial and vernacular architecture. Half-Timbered Houses showcases traditional European structures, capturing their distinct geometric patterns and wooden frame designs. Presented in the Bechers' signature black-and-white, objective style, each house is framed in isolation, emphasizing the craftsmanship, form, and design variations within a unified architectural tradition. Published by Achenbach GMBH, this poster reflects the Bechers’ dedication to preserving disappearing architectural forms. Their typological approach became a hallmark of conceptual art and the Düsseldorf School of Photography, influencing artists like Andreas Gursky and Thomas Struth. Their works are held in the collections of leading institutions such as MoMA and the Tate Modern, making this poster a valuable piece for collectors of industrial art, modern photography, and architectural heritage.
