{"product_id":"66049-jeff-wall","title":"Jeff Wall","description":"Since the late 1970s, Jeff Wall has contributed significantly to the establishment of photography as an independent art form. He is considered the founder of \"staged\" photography: his motifs initially appear like snapshots, yet his mostly large-format photographs, intricately and subtly composed from a multitude of individual shots, are predominantly entirely constructed visual worlds. By combining photography with elements of painting, cinema, and literature—an approach he himself describes as \"cinematographic\"—he meticulously re-enacts fictional realities and memories of experiences and observations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the more than fifty works assembled in the catalog for the large-scale solo exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler are Wall's iconic large-format transparencies in lightboxes, as well as black-and-white photographs and color photographic prints. These newer images, representing the entire spectrum of his work, enter into a dialogue with works from the beginning of Wall's artistic career, revealing diverse thematic and formal connections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis title is also available in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/products\/66050-jeff-wall?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=1f367a4eb\u0026amp;_ss=r\" title=\"Jeff Wall | Hatje Cantz\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith his innovative approach to photography, JEFF WALL (b. 1946, Vancouver) has profoundly shaped the medium and its position within contemporary art. In the late 1970s, he garnered significant attention with his first large-format light-box transparencies, which combined approaches from conceptual art and historical painting. Wall does not work in series; each of his images is a unique composition, and the process of finding an image can take years. Since the mid-1990s, he has expanded his repertoire, working with black-and-white prints and, for more than 15 years, with color photographic prints.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45532873916680,"sku":"9783775756297","price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756297_7b08d339-56f6-4992-a95e-c5762cec61a3.jpg?v=1744285530","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/66049-jeff-wall","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
