Jeff Wall\u2019s large-scale photographic tableaux, many made in the 1980s and \u201990s, could perhaps be seen as a kind of bridge between work that uses appropriation as a way to explore ideas about authorship \u2013 a key concern in post-modernism \u2013 and work that draws on art history and reworks it, perhaps in an attempt to understand the present by looking at the past. These works \u2013 shown as large light-boxes, a form that references advertising but also feels related as closely to cinema as to still photography without actually taking on the expected form of any of these \u2013 are both visually stunning and fascinating to look at; the detail is extraordinary and the scale \u2013\u00a0A Sudden Gust of Wind<\/em> is roughly 2.5m by 4x \u2013 makes it possible to examine even the tiniest details.<\/p>\n
