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 Belgium including: two views of the Cockerill steel mill in Ougrée (PH1987:1048 and PH1987:1063); two views of the Hainaut-Sambre steel mill in Montignies-sur-Sambre (PH1987:1049 and PH1987:1064); and one view of the Boel Steel Plant in La Louvière (PH1987:1053). - The photographers indicate that the group of six photographs PH1987:1048 - PH1987:1053 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 "M 1" through "M 6",. Photograph PH1987:1048 would therefore be at the far left of the upper row, while photograph PH1987:1053 would be at the far right of the bottom row (Kicken Pauseback, 1987).
