Jeff Wall Opening at Marian Goodman Gallery
On February 23 Jeff Wall’s solo show at Marian Goodman Gallery New York opened. Jeff Wall’s work explores contradictory modes of image making. Elaborately staged compositions are exhibited along side images that are purely documentary in nature. Wall’s ability to create engaging compositions is matched by his uncanny ability to extract them.

The show consists of eight new large-scale photographs, six of them being black-and-white and the other two color prints mounted on light boxes. Jeff Wall’s technique of mounting images on light boxes is drawn from illuminated adverts typical of bus stops. However, the focus of this show is the black-and-white images, four of which were recently on view at the Deutsche Guggenheim. In 2007, The Museum of Modern Art organized a large retrospective of Jeff Wall’s work.
The exhibition will be on view through March 22 at Marian Goodman Gallery located at 24 West 57th Street New York, NY.
