She shows us the unseen, the inside-out, the parts that go unrecognised. A.M. Homes, novelist 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. Further site-specific projects include Holocaust Memorial in Vienna’s Judenplatz and Water Tower in New York. With 1oo colour illustrations, this book by writer, editor and broadcaster Charlotte Mullins is the first significant survey to examine Whiteread’s career to date. Price (ZA) R295.00 |
