The exhibition features 99 photographs made from the 1960s until the present. This is the first exhibition in the United States since 1995 to feature Jäger’s work and the first retrospective of the photographer outside of Europe. Since the beginning of the 60s, Jäger has been investigating topics at the heart of a worldwide resurgence of contemporary “abstract” photographic practices. He may be considered as the precursor of the new generation of photographers working in conceptual approaches to the medium, photographers including James Welling, Walid Beshty, Liz Deschennes, Marco Breuer and others.
