4.0 out of 5 stars
A unique book for a unique work of art...,
By Caldermobile (Huntsville, Alabama USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rachel Whiteread: House (Paperback)
In 1992, British artist, Rachel Whiteread, began the ground work for one of the most unique artistic works produced over the last 20 years. Her vision, a concrete casting of the interior of a building, a ghost of the structure. The book is a detail the process and an analysis of the work."House" helped Whiteread win the 1993 Turner Prize. Sadly, the piece was destroyed in January of 1994. A book for the student of contemporary art or the fan of Rachel Whiteread. Well worth the price.

This review is from: Rachel Whiteread: House (Paperback)
Rachel Whiteread is one of my favorite artists. She takes a unique look at the world by examining the spaces left behind, such as the underside of a chair and creating artwork around that. In 1993 she won the Turner Prize for her work "House" a casting of the interior of a building where the insides and secrets were laid bare, and set on the site where the house once stood. This book captures not only the process behind creating this work, but also detailed notes on how it began, what was needed and everything else. Photos capture the process from start to finish. Sadly this work was destroyed in 1994, but luckily we still have this book. A great addition to any art book collection, but well worth the read for any sculpture student.
