Jeff Wall is one of the most important and fascinating artists today, and undoubtedly one of those responsible for establishing photography at the forefront of contemporary art. In the works presented here, from his early days to the present - varying in techniques and topics, from street photography in his "near-documentary" style, quotes and complex and original references to art history to reconstructed "cinematographic" style - the distinction between the commonplace and the spectacular is blurred, and the topics of masterpieces are converted to everyday simplicity. cf. Foreword.

Work Description
"Jeff Wall has lived in his hometown of Vancouver for all but four years of his life. Most of the images he has created are shot in and around that city, yet his art transcends these local subjects and addresses universal themes of history and memory. That explains why his work is celebrated around the world and has been the subject of countless international exhibitions from the Tate Modern, to MoMa, to the Art Institute of Chicago. His importance to photoconceptualism is recognized throughout the art world and his cinematographic pictures are immensely popular with the public and the academy alike. The images he has chosen for North and West explore the meaning of history and how we remember the cities we inhabit. The towns imprinted in our minds no longer exist. Urban landscapes constantly change but the remnants of the past remain and history's influence never ends. North and West is a succinct and indispensible look into the profoundly moving and influential oeuvre of Jeff Wall."--
