One of Britain’s leading
contemporary artists, Whiteread uses industrial materials such as plaster,
concrete, resin, rubber and metal to cast everyday objects and architectural
space. Her evocative sculptures range from the intimate to the monumental.
‘She takes empty interiors
and gives them presence and heft. She gives the inside of things a life we
never knew they possessed.’ (The Independent)
Born in London in 1963,
Whiteread was the first woman to win the Turner Prize in 1993. The same year
she made House 1993–1994, a life-sized cast of the interior of a condemned
terraced house in London’s East End, which existed for a few months before it
was controversially demolished.
This momentous show tracks
Whiteread’s career and brings together well-known works such as Untitled (100
Spaces) 1995 and Untitled (Staircase) 2001 alongside new pieces that have never
been previously exhibited.
