Rachel Whiteread has single-handedly expanded the parameters of
contemporary sculpture with her casts of the outer and inner spaces
of familiar objects, sometimes in quiet monochrome, sometimes in
vivid jewel-like colour. She won the Turner Prize in 1993, the same
year as her first large-scale public project, House, a concrete
cast of a nineteenth-century terraced house in London's east end.
This book, by writer and editor Charlotte Mullins - the first
significant survey to examine Whiteread's career to date - has been
substantial updated with a new chapter containing 10 major works,
including Tate's Turbine Hall installation Embankment and Cabin,
Whiteread's first permanent public sculpture in America. Born in
London in 1963, Rachel Whiteread is one of Britain's most exciting
contemporary artists. Her work is characterised by its use of
industrial materials such as plaster, concrete, resin, rubber and
metal. With these she casts the surfaces and volume in and around
everyday objects and architectural space, creating evocative
sculptures that range from the intimate to the monumental.
