Published to mark Jeff Wall’s major solo exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey (November 2024 – January 2025), this monograph celebrates 30 years of collaboration between Wall and White Cube. Charting the development of both gallery and artist, this monograph is chaptered by each White Cube exhibition, providing an indexical record of the gallery’s presentations and a comprehensive history of the artist’s work. 

With absorbing details and generous gatefold reproductions, this publication, designed by (Studio) Jonathan Hares, offers a rare look into Wall’s early photography, allowing the reader to discern its evolution over subsequent decades. An essay by Maria H. Loh gives close analysis of select works through the lens of painterly form, guiding the reader through an attendance of detail that affirms ‘a good picture is a slow seduction.’ Taking up Wall’s artistic endeavour to describe reality while preserving its mystery, an essay by Erika Balsom explores the works’ affinities with film and how fiction and performativity have inflected Wall’s decades-long career.

Erika Balsom is a Reader in Film and Media Studies at King’s College London.

Maria H. Loh is Professor of Art History at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
