They are unique in that they are artists who are married, and have collaborated for twenty years.
Andrea Robbins and Max Becher are artists who make photo-based conceptual work on the subject of the “transportation of place.” Max teaches in the Digital Media Area of the School of Art and Art History at the University of Florida. Andrea teaches in the photography department at the University of Florida with an emphasis on the conceptual meaning behind formal conventions. Andrea and Max have taught at the Cooper Union and various other institutions." (SOURCE: Light Work, Syracuse, NY)
