This exhibition of works on paper from the permanent collection is organized around the David Winton Bell Gallery’s recent acquisition of twelve Hilla and Bernd Becher duotone lithographs, Framework Houses, (1970/1993). In 1959 the Bechers began meticulously documenting Germany’s industrial landscape and arranging groups of like images into gridded typologies. Their use of serial order and the grid as organizing principles paralleled the systematic procedures deployed by many minimalist and conceptual artists of the 1960s and 1970s. This exhibition features work by the Bechers alongside that of Jennifer Bartlett, Agnes Martin, and Frank Stella.
