Slog - Comments on Pictures for Women http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/pictures_for_women Vancouver Art Gallery is having its first solo exhibition of Jeff Wall's photographs in almost 20 years this fall—the show opens later this month. Now you really have no excuse not to go up to Vancouver in the next two months. Here's his early masterpiece Picture for Women from 1979, based on Manet's classic painting Bar at the Folies-Bergere.

I think I'm going to spend an afternoon this weekend checking out Wack!; I have a Gallery membership, so I can go back and check out the other two new exhibits when they get around to opening.
