Overview

Jeff Wall, the grandaddy of modern photography, has been a trendsetter since he started taking pictures in the mid-'70s. His cinematically staged, technically impeccable style has been adopted by some of the world's most successful artists.

But Wall has the diversity of any great genius. Though best-known for his incredibly staged tableaux, he also ventures into simpler, docu-verite territory with intimate portraits and more spontaneous work.

This exhibition spans a career that has carried Wall through international high-art prestige to associations with musicians such as Iggy Pop. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see his breathtakingly enormous shots in the flesh, and to explore his gentler, more intimate side.
