  • Jeff Wall, Installation View, 1983.

  • The first exhibition in the United States devoted to works by Canadian artist Jeff Wall. Mr. Wall is a realist photographer who makes huge cibachrome transparencies which are mounted in luminous backlit frames. Wall’s images are carefully contrived studio set-ups, relating to the movie studio and painter’s studio, to forms of mass media, and to the traditional forms of art history. They are structural analyses of the act of image-making.
