Artists in conversation
Bernd Becher
German · b. 1931
Becher's black and white photographic documentation of industrial and urban architecture shares the same minimalist, conceptual approach to architectural photography seen in Förg's work. His systematic framing of structures as aesthetic and conceptual objects closely mirrors the unified documentary aesthetic of Alessandria.

Thomas Struth
German · b. 1954

Struth's large scale black and white urban street photography captures architectural environments with the same cool, contemplative minimalism present in Förg's Alessandria. His German conceptual photographic tradition and interest in the built environment align directly with this specific work.

Axel Hütte
German · b. 1951

Hütte creates meticulously composed photographs of architectural and urban spaces that share the same bold minimalist sensibility and conceptual framing strategy found in Alessandria. His work similarly treats the photograph as a unified aesthetic object rooted in the German conceptual photography tradition.
