Summary:

"Jeff Wall is widely recognized as one of the most adventurous and accomplished artists of the past three decades. Ranging from the gritty realism of the city street to bizarre flights of fantasy, his large color transparencies set forth a seductive and imposing pictorial world. Since the early 1980s he has written critical essays on a wide range of subjects, from the art of Dan Graham, On Kawara, and Edouard Manet to the role of photography in conceptual art. he has also published dozens of interviews, which touch on a variety of concerns but focus on his own art. This generous anthology of Wall's best essays and interviews is an essential guide to his rich creative universe."--back cover.
