Jeff Wall: Exposure, a special exhibition commissioned by the Deutsche Guggenheim, presents publicly for the first time four new large-scale black-and-white photographs by artist Jeff Wall. This remarkable body of new work will be shown in conjunction with five earlier pieces—black-and-white photographs as well as transparencies mounted in lightboxes—to create an ensemble that resonates both formally and thematically. Wall has long been interested in the language of realism, in the values and aesthetics of representing daily life. All of the pictures on view realistically portray desolate places and people in straitened circumstances typical of contemporary society. This focused exhibition will aptly demonstrate Wall’s continuing interrogation of the history of photographic representation, here specifically the legacies of documentary photography and neorealist film.
