Bernd, Hilla en de anderen

Saskia Asser, Nicky van Banning, Barbara Hofmann-Johnson

In the spring of 2018 Huis Marseille was devoted to the so-called Düsseldorfer Photoschule, photographers who studied at the Dusseldorf Art Academy under Bernd and Hilla Becher or their successors Thomas Ruff and Andreas Gursky. The photographic vision of Bernd and Hilla Becher was so influential and successful that these photographers - also known as the Becher-Schüler - have left their stamp on contemporary photography from the mid-1970s onwards. Huis Marseille has a considerable collection of photographs from the Dusseldorf school. These were presented in the exhibition alongside early, mostly unknown work by photographers such as Höfer, Ruff and Struth, as well as more recent work by young and upcoming photographers. Exhibition: Huis Marseille, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (09.03.-03.06.2018).
