White Cube is pleased to present an exhibition of works by Jeff Wall at Mason’s Yard. Comprising both new and earlier photographs spanning a twenty-year period, the selection foregrounds Wall’s attention to the forms and methods of picture making and his prolonged observation of everyday life.

Since the 1980s, Jeff Wall has made documentary photographs alongside what he terms “cinematographic” pictures, all of which emerge from similar processes of study and reflection.

Spanning a twenty-year period, the photographs in his latest exhibition foreground Wall’s attention to the forms and methods of picture making and his prolonged observation of everyday life.

The exhibition includes several black and white prints, including Cold Storage (2007) and Burrow (2004). A new picture, A woman with a necklace (2021) shows a woman reclining languidly in a shadowy interior examining a sparkling glass necklace. Derived from Wall’s own memories of his childhood home, this study in light and shadow, like all of Wall’s black and white pictures, draws attention to the possibilities of picture making without colour, and to the intense luminosity that the monochrome offers.
