Description: "Rachel Whiteread (British, born 1963) creates uncanny, quietly powerful works that have redefined the possibilities for sculpture in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using industrial materials (plaster, concrete, resin, rubber and metal), she has cast the interiors and undersides of objects and architectural spaces for over three decades. Exploring every scale, Whiteread stakes out new spaces between positive and negative, public and private, and manufactured and handmade with concision, intelligence and beauty. This book, which documents the first comprehensive survey of Whiteread's work, presents the breadth of her practice, from sculpture to drawing and photography, bringing together her earliest objects with new works that have not been seen before...This volume features new scholarship on Whiteread, tracing the development of her works from the late 1980s to 2017. It enriches our understanding of an artist who has marked the past and moved it forward, detailing the way the everyday continues to change in our own time."
