Description:
- The group of 86 photographs PH1987:0996 - PH1987:1081 by Bernd and Hilla Becher show 75 views of steel mill blast furnaces and 11 views of mines. There are 45 views of steel mill blast furnaces in Germany, 15 in the United States, and five in each of France, Luxembourg and Belgium. There are five views of mines in Germany, two in Belgium, two in the United States, and one in each of France and Wales. - The group of 86 photographs PH1987:0996 - PH1987:1081 by Bernd and Hilla Becher show five views of steel mill blast furnaces in Luxembourg including: four views of the Arbed steel mill in Terre Rouge, Esch-sur-Alzette (PH1987:1036, PH1987:1051 and PH1987:1065 - PH1987:1066); and one view of the Arbed steel mill in Düdelingen (PH1987:1046). - The photographers indicate that the group of six photographs PH1987:1042 - PH1987:1047 of views of blast furnaces should be exhibited in two rows arranged from left to right and top to bottom in numerical order according to the photographers' inscriptions "L 1" through "L 6". Photograph PH1987:1042 would therefore be at the far left of the upper row, while photograph PH1987:1047 would be at the far right of the bottom row (Kicken Pauseback, 1987).
