Jeff Wall: Complete Edition

by: Thierry De Duve, Arielle Pelenc, Boris Groys, Jean-Francois Chevrier, Mark Lewis
Jeff Wall (b.1946) adopts the nineteenth-century poet Baudelaire's famous description of one of his contemporaries as 'a painter of modern life' to describe his own very different work: huge transparencies mounted on to light boxes that diffuse a brilliant glow of white light evenly through his photographs of contemporary urban scenes and 'constructed' social situations. Wall is foremost among the pioneering artists who since the late 1960s have brought photography to the forefront of contemporary art.

Jeff Wall: Exposure

by: Jennifer Blessing, Katrin Blum
Jeff Wall: Exposure introduces four new large-scale black-and-white photographs by the Canadian artist Jeff Wall. Presented publicly for the first time in an accompanying special exhibition at the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin, this new work is shown alongside earlier pieces--both black-and-white photographs as well as transparencies mounted in lightboxes--to create an ensemble that resonates formally and thematically. Wall has long been interested in the language of Realism, in the values and aesthetics of representing daily life.

Jeff Wall (Modern Artists)

by: Craig Burnett
"I don't paint but I began as a painter. I take the term "painter" as figurative.... Painter can mean 'maker' in that sense." -Jeff Wall in conversation with David Shapiro

Born in 1946 in British Columbia, Jeff Wall has shown internationally for the last 25 years and is one of the most intriguing and influential artists working today. His signature works are large-scale narrative photographs in the form of backlit transparencies mounted in light boxes, like bus stop advertisements.
