Jeff Wall is arguably the most globally recognised photographer of his generation. Emerging on the post-conceptual scene in the 1970s, his backlit transparencies, which reinvented the tradition of ‘painting modern life’, have been among the most influential and decisive works in contemporary art. He has shown his work at the Museo Reina Sofía (Madrid, 1994) and the CGAC (Santiago de Compostela, 2011). His first retrospective in Barcelona will be presented at La Virreina in 2024. He lives between Vancouver and Los Angeles.
