Opening this Friday, September 15: Bernd & Hilla Becher at Sprüth Magers, Berlin⁠ ⁠ Bernd and Hilla Becher’s first solo exhibition at Sprüth Magers, Berlin will be showcasing the Bechers’ iconic style and formal rigor. The show features several rarely seen works along with two typologies that allude to the cultural and social significance of the constructions the artists referred to as “anonymous sculptures.”⁠ ⁠ The show outlines the career of the German artist couple who, from the 1960s onwards, began challenging the perceived gap between documentary and fine-art photography.Focused on technical precision and letting the object speak for itself, the Bechers’ work is informed by the German Neue Sachlichkeit movement of the 1920s and its drive towards a non-subjective style. Whilst recording the world as it is, they developed a visual code, a grammar of sorts, which strikes the balance between an objective and restrained gaze that is at the same time immediately⁠ identifiable and unique, even somewhat personal.⁠ ⁠ #BerndHillaBecher #SpruethMagers
