A methodical typological study by Bernd and Hilla Becher, this sequence of eight ferrotyped photographs documents grain elevators with the couple's characteristic clinical precision and systematic rigor. Each individually mounted and annotated photograph is numbered sequentially, reflecting the Bechers' encyclopedic approach to cataloguing industrial vernacular architecture as a cohesive visual taxonomy. The inclusion of a hanging schematic and title inscribed in pencil on the reverse of the first photograph underscores the archival and analytical intent that defined the Bechers' decades-long collaborative practice.
