Jeff Wall
Jeff Wall s large-scale Cibachrome tranparencies mounted on light-boxes have exerted a profound influence over little short of the past three decades. His work also spans a time in which the way in which the relationship change. He is one of the last artists to work out his moves on the basis of a linear view of history and then to have a rethink the relationship of his work with art history in a world in which such a view of history was no longer tenable. His composition in both color and black-and-white maintain a constant dialogue with nineteenth-century genre painting and truly make him, in charles Baudelaire s expression, a painter of modern life. In addition to an in-depth essay by Michael Newman, this book reproduces the complete work of Jeff Wall to date and includes his main writings on the creative experience of other key contemporary artists. 134 illustrations

In his impressive analysis Stefan Banz examines how Jeff Wall uses camera, computer, actors and specialists to generate a visual performance that provokes epistemological questions in the viewer; illustrates how the artist - beyond avant-garde criteria - develops a sophisticated and engaging visual feel, which deals both with the everyday but also with the history of art; and explores meticulously how he reflects the role of the recipient in his compositions.In this sense, Banz shows with the eyes of an active observer how art has an inexhaustible metaphorical power for Wall, which enriches and upsets our visual concepts. And he also creates new, startling references between his photographic works and paintings by such different artists like Diego Velázquez, Jan Vermeer, Claude Monet, Frederic Remington, Hans Emmenegger, Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dalí.

Jeff Wall: Transit accompanies an exhibition of 26 unique works of this Canadian artist. Jeff Wall made a name for himself with a special invention: light boxes with huge color transparencies of carefully calculated photographic images oscillating between painterly compositions and straight photography. His conceptual work brought him a special position in the art world and his images that also serve as lit objects made him famous during the last three decades. The book accompanies an exhibition at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. It includes texts by art historians Ulrich Bischoff, Mathias Wagner, Thomas Weski, and Laszlo Glozer.
Tate Modern Artists
Born in 1946 in Vancouver, Canada, Jeff Wall is one of the most intriguing and influential artists working in photography today. His signature works are large-scale transparencies mounted in light-boxes in the manner of billboard advertisements. Wall's photographs celebrate moments of everyday life, often ones he has observed while driving around the streets of his native Vancouver and then re-created, using actors. With their diverse references to film, literature and the history of art, Wall's photographs repay close study. Six key works are examined in depth in this survey, which includes rich material from new interviews with the artist and an overview of his career to date.
