Jeff Wall Photographs 1984–2023

Partners in Art is proud to support Jeff Wall Photographs 1984–2023, a comprehensive survey of one of Canada’s most influential living artists. Wall’s first major Canadian survey in over 25 years, and his first in Toronto in 35 years, this monumental exhibition spans all three floors of MOCA. Including light box transparencies, black and white photographs, and colour prints, the extensive selection of works at MOCA traces four decades of Wall’s practice, offering the opportunity to experience the full scope of his contributions to contemporary photography.

An internationally celebrated artist, Wall is best known for his large-scale lightboxes and his pioneering approach to photography. Since the 1960s, he has profoundly influenced the artform through his bold experimentation with scale, texture, colour, subject matter, and production techniques, redefining the possibilities of the medium.

Highlighting photographs composed in Canada, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the history, evolution, and future of lens-based art in this country. At a time of renewed Canadian focus, it celebrates the powerful and enduring role photography has played in contributing to the nation’s cultural identity. For audiences, this is an opportunity to engage with Canadian history through the lens of one of its most influential contemporary artists.
