NEW YORK CITY — The Museum of Modern Art will present “Jeff Wall” in the Joan and Preston Robert Tisch Gallery, sixth floor, February 25–May 14.

Wall (Canadian, b 1946) is recognized as one of the most adventurous and inventive artists of his generation. This retrospective will survey his career from the late 1970s to the present through some 40 works. The exhibition will feature his major lightbox photographs and trace the evolution of his principal themes and pictorial strategies.

Organized jointly by The Museum of Modern Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition is co-curated by Peter Galassi, chief curator, MoMA’s Department of Photography, and Neal Benezra, director, SFMOMA. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalog, with an essay by Peter Galassi and an interview with Wall conducted by James Rondeau, curator of modern and contemporary art at the Art Institute of Chicago. A book of Jeff Wall’s collected writings and interviews will be published to coincide with the exhibition. Following the New York showing the exhibition will travel to the Art Institute of Chicago and conclude its tour at SFMOMA in the fall of 2007.
