Jeff Wall @
Marian Goodman 


Concurrent
exhibitions:
Presenting new
photographs
created by Wall
over the last
18 months.

Wall's work: 
Combines formal 
innovation with a 
discerning reflection 
on and research 
into conditions and 
social interactions 
in the real world. 

Approach: 
Wall engages 
in a boundless 
exploration of 
open and closed 
spaces and the 
relationships 
between them, 
rendering his 
subjects through 
a selective strategy 
of reportage or 
construction, 
while being partial 
to neither. 

Themes:
Integrating truth 
and artifice, the 
street and the studio, 
documentary and 
the cinematographic.

Influences: 
A picture might 
be engendered 
from an ‘instant’, 
a ‘mise en scene,’ 
or the ‘before’ or 
after’ of a real or 
imagined event; 
a methodology 
that has given rise 
to the relevance of 
what Wall terms the 
near-documentary.
