Jeff Wall
Jeff Wall has lived in his hometown of Vancouver for all but four years of his life. Most of the images he has created are shot in and around that city, yet his art transcends these local subjects and addresses universal themes of history and memory. That explains why his work is celebrated around the world and has been the subject of countless international exhibitions from the Tate Modern, to MoMa, to the Art Institute of Chicago. His importance to photoconceptualism is recognized throughout the art world and his cinematographic pictures are immensely popular with the public and the academy alike. The images he has chosen for North and West explore the meaning of history and how we remember the cities we inhabit. The towns imprinted in our minds no longer exist. Urban landscapes constantly change but the remnants of the past remain and history's influence never ends. North and West is a succinct and indispensable look into the profoundly moving and influential oeuvre of Jeff Wall.

"Jeff Wall is one of the most highly regarded artists at work in the world today and has played a key role in establishing photography as a contemporary art form. Jeff Wall: Photographs 1978-2004 has been developed in close collaboration with the artist and accompanies a major retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern, London. Featuring Wall's best known works, the large-scale carefully staged scenes presented as illuminated lightboxes, as well as black-and-white photographs, the book includes an insightful essay by Sheena Wagstaff. In it she examines the impact of art history and cinema on Wall's practice, revealing how he combines documentary techniques with meticulous staging and digital collage to realise his extraordinary vision."--BOOK JACKET.

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.
