Jeff Wall

Jeff Wall (Canadian, b. 1946) is widely recognized as one of the most adventurous and inventive artists of his generation. This retrospective will survey his career from the late 1970s to the present through some forty works. The exhibition will feature his major lightbox photographs and trace the evolution of his principal themes and pictorial strategies. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue, with an essay by Peter Galassi and an interview with Jeff Wall conducted by James Rondeau, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago. To coincide with the exhibition, MoMA will publish a book of Jeff Wall's collected writings and interviews.

Following the New York showing the exhibition will travel to the Art Institute of Chicago and conclude its tour at SFMOMA in the fall of 2007.

Organized jointly by The Museum of Modern Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition is cocurated by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator, Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art, and Neal Benezra, Director, SFMOMA.
