Jeff Wall

Jeff Wall is one of the most important and influential artists working today. Since the late 1970s his work has been central to any discussion of the place of photography in contemporary art, and of the pictorial tradition more broadly. His work has been the subject of major retrospectives at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 1997, at Schaulager, Basel and Tate Modern, London in 2005, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 2007. A group of his works was shown at the Hammer Museum in 2003. He lives in Vancouver.
