One of the finest of the Becher's typological studies. As David Levi-Strauss says in Roth, et. al., The Book of 101 Books, "the serial nature of the Becher's process rhymes with their mass-produced subjects so that method and subject are splendidly reciprocal, a meditation on identity and difference."
Very Fine. |
