LONDON.- Marking 30 years of collaboration with Jeff Wall (b.1946, Vancouver, Canada), White Cube opened a major solo exhibition of the artist’s work at the Bermondsey gallery.

Titled ‘Jeff Wall: Life in Pictures’, the show celebrates the cultural significance of Wall’s work and how he challenged the conventions of photography to change its course within contemporary art. It follows recent museum shows across Europe in 2024, including Fondation Beyeler (Basel, Switzerland) and La Virreina Centre de la Imatge (Barcelona, Spain), and precedes major solo presentations in 2025 at MAAT (Lisbon), Galleria d'Italia (Turin, Italy) and Museum of Contemporary Art (Toronto, Canada).

Residing between near-documentary realism and compositional artifice, the subjects of Wall’s cinematographic photographs range from the urban environment to elaborate tableaux that evoke the scale and complexity of 19th-century history paintings.

The exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey brings together over 40 key works made between the 1980s and the present day, documenting Wall’s artistic development, from early lightbox transparencies and monochrome print photographs, to his more recent engagement with multi-panel compositions.

‘Jeff Wall: Life in Pictures’ is on view at White Cube Bermondsey from 22 November 2024 until 12 January 2025. The exhibition at MAAT, Lisbon, will open in April 2025.

Jeff Wall was born in 1946 in Vancouver, Canada, where he lives and works. He has exhibited widely, including solo exhibitions at La Virreina Centre de la Imatge, Barcelona, Spain (2024); Fondation Beyeler, Basel, Switzerland (2024); Glenstone, Potomac, Maryland (2021); The George Economou Collection, Athens (2019); Kunsthalle Mannheim, Germany, touring to Mudam Luxembourg (2018); Pérez Art Museum Miami, Florida (2015); Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, touring to Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark (2014-15); Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, touring to National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne and Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney (2012–13); Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany (2013); Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea, Santiago de Compostela, Spain (2011); Museo Tamayo, Mexico City (2008); The Museum of Modern Art, New York touring to the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California (2007); and Tate Modern, London touring to Schaulager, Basel, Switzerland (2005). Wall has participated in numerous group exhibitions including 5th Shanghai Biennale, China (2004); Documenta, Kassel, Germany (2002 and 1997); 12th Biennale of Sydney, Australia (2000); and 24th Bienal de São Paulo, Brazil (1998).
