JEFF WALL
Tableaux Pictures Photographs
12 March - 21 June 2015
The Canadian artist Jeff Wall is one of the most significant image-makers of our time, and one of photography’s masters. Every single one of his images are prepared with the same care as if it were a theater piece developing in several acts.
Jeff Wall (born in 1946) is a modern classic. His pieces will be reference points when the history of art in the last few decades of the twentieth century is written. His iconic images captivate the audience by means of an unfolding and never fully explained or transparent story. As the artist states, “It’s you who write the script”. Hereby we are invited to imagine our own way into Wall’s highly well-composed pictures.
The exhibition included 35 of the artist’s most important works from the years 1996-2013 - presenting his famous light boxes as well as colour and black-and-white photographs. The exhibition was the result of a co-operation with Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Kunsthaus Bregenz in Austria.
