Special issues
Jeff Wall
Jeff Wall’s work has long been of great interest to art historians. Jeff Wall’s work is currently being reconsidered after extremely prominent retrospectives at the Schaulager and Tate Modern (2005), and prior to another retrospective at MoMA (2007) which will tour to Chicago and San Francisco. This Special Issue grew out of a conference that took place at Tate Modern during the retrospective there. Six art historians gave papers, each looking at one particular work by Wall. Revised versions of five of these papers are presented in the Special Issue alongside new essays by scholars working on photography and 20th century art history.
A range of voices can be heard in this Special Issue, some quite skeptical about Wall’s practice, and some exploring it in brand new ways. Wall is considered in relation to Marcel Duchamp, in relation to night photography, to George Stubbs, as well as to more obvious figures such as Victor Burgin. The issue also contains a brand new, previously unpublished interview between John Roberts and Jeff Wall.
