Jeff Wall: Works in Focus 1978–2004
Jeff Wall: Works in Focus 1978–2004

Canadian artist Jeff Wall is widely recognized as an innovative picture-maker whose dynamic photographs, both color and black-and-white, have affinities with painting and cinema. Their sense of scale comes from Wall's interest in the tradition of painting, and their methods of production from his fascination with cinematography. Along with an informative timeline of the artist's career, this feature presents 26 works Wall completed between 1978 and 2004, and includes video clips featuring the artist discussing his creative process. 

This interactive multimedia feature was developed in conjunction with the exhibition Jeff Wall.
