Jeff Wall
October 27, 2007 - January 27, 2008
Canadian artist Jeff Wall has helped push photography to the forefront of contemporary art, his giant transparencies mounted on light boxes combining the seductive glow of a cinema screen with the physical presence of minimalist sculpture. This exhibition spans the artist’s career from the late 1970s to the present and features roughly 30 to 40 works, including many of Wall’s most celebrated images.
In-Between: Art in a Post-Millennial Moment

Luc Tuymans

Emulated by scores of younger artists, Luc Tuymans arguably has become the most influential European painter of his generation. Tuymans's work is a vast repository of data drawn from photography, television, and film, combining a variety of styles and subject matter. His focus ranges from major historical events to the inconsequential and banal, including wallpaper patterns, Christmas decorations, and everyday objects.

Frida Kahlo Self-Portraits is a groundbreaking monographic exhibition of the works of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, celebrating the centennial of the artist’s birth.

This major exhibition reunites the renowned modern art collections of Gertrude, Leo, Michael, and Sarah Stein and features works by the leading artists of early 20th-century Paris.
