Many
I have to admit that I first was not sure about what to think of Bernd and Hilla Becher's exhibition "Typologien industrieller Bauten" at Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin. It just seemed to fit the formula "big, small, many or naked" in a sense that it showed MASSIVE amounts of pictures of industrial sites. But after a while I got seriously excited by this incredible collection which changed my view of what industrialisation has been. I was also impressed by the consistency and the stubbornness which one could feel in the artists' work.
Don't miss this exhibition if you are in Berlin before January 8th, 2006!
Oh, and they also had Passau's "Winterhafen" in their collection. Brought back memories of exceptional skateboarding sessions.
