Bernd, Hilla and the others. Photography from Düsseldorf

About

In the spring of 2018, the so-called Düsseldorfer Photoschule in Huis Marseille takes center stage. This means the photographers who studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Bernd and Hilla Becher, and under their successors Thomas Ruff and Andreas Gursky. The photographic vision of Bernd and Hilla Becher is so influential and so successful that these photographers - also known as the Becher-Schüler - have made an important mark on contemporary photography since the mid-seventies. Huis Marseille has a considerable collection of photographs from the Düsseldorfer school. These are presented in the exhibition alongside early, often unknown works by photographers such as Höfer, Ruff and Struth, and recent work by young photographers who are now on the rise.
