At the end of the month, American photographer Jeff Wall exhibits for the first time at Gagosian in New York. Many of the works are being seen in public for the first time, and the show will bring together Wall’s unsettling, suburban shots with landscape images and some newer “near documentary” photographs. “From his pioneering use in the 1970s of backlit colour transparencies—a medium then synonymous with advertising—to his intricately constructed scenes of enigmatic incidents from daily life, literature, and film, Wall has expanded the definition of the photograph, both as object and illusion,” says the gallery.
