"Jeff Wall: Photographs 1978-2004" is published to accompany a major monographic exhibition of photographs by Jeff Wall at Tate Modern, London, developed in close collaboration with the artist. The exhibition will feature works from throughout his career, as well as including new work produced especially for the exhibition. Jeff Wall has been making photographs since 1967. He has helped to give photography a prominent place in contemporary art as well as effecting one of the most radical new developments in twentieth century photography. His highly innovative approach, best known through large colour transparencies of carefully constructed mise-en-scenes mounted in wall-hung lightboxes, has been complemented for the past ten years by large black and white photographs on paper. As well as illustrating these important works, the book explores the impact of the history of art and cinema on Wall's practice, revealing how he meshes documentary techniques with staged settings and digital collage.
