{"product_id":"66050-jeff-wall","title":"Jeff Wall","description":"Since the late 1970s, Jeff Wall has played a major role in establishing photography as an independent art form. He is considered the founder of \"staged\" photography: his motifs initially appear to be snapshots, but his mostly large-format photographs, intricately and subtly composed from a multitude of individual shots, are predominantly entirely constructed pictorial worlds. By combining photography with elements of painting, cinema, and literature—an approach he himself describes as \"cinematographic\"—he re-stages fictional realities, memories of experiences and observations, in an elaborate process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the more than fifty works gathered in the catalogue for the large-scale solo exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler are Wall's iconic large-format transparencies in light boxes, as well as black-and-white photographs and color photo prints. These newer images, representing the full range of his oeuvre, enter into a dialogue with works from the early period 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\/66049-jeff-wall?_pos=18\u0026amp;_sid=b72017b60\u0026amp;_ss=r\" title=\"Jeff Wall | Hatje Cantz Verlag\"\u003eGerman\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith his innovative approach to photography, JEFF WALL (*1946, Vancouver) has significantly shaped the medium and its position within contemporary art. In the late 1970s, he garnered great attention with his first large-format transparency light boxes, which combined approaches from conceptual art and historical painting. Wall does not work in series; each of his pictures is a unique composition, and the image-finding process can take years. Since the mid-1990s, he has expanded his repertoire and works with black-and-white prints, and for more than 15 years also with color photo prints.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45532873883912,"sku":"9783775756303","price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756303_c87ca419-9d89-4234-91df-ca47b6143adc.jpg?v=1744285525","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/66050-jeff-wall","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
