Rachel Whiteread's Major Retrospective at Tate Britain

Tate Britain in London hosts the most comprehensive retrospective to date of Rachel Whiteread, the first woman to win the Turner Prize in 1993 for her monumental plaster cast of a Victorian house, 'House'. The exhibition spans her career from 1988 to the present, featuring over 100 works including iconic pieces like 'Untitled (One Hundred Spaces)' (1995), a symmetrical arrangement of colored resin casts of the space under chairs. Whiteread's practice focuses on casting negative spaces of everyday objects and architectural elements, such as 'Closet' (1988), 'Shallow Breath' (1988), and 'Untitled (Square Sink)' (1990), using materials like plaster, concrete, and resin. The show also includes 'Room 101' (2003), a cast of the room where George Orwell worked at the BBC, and 'Embankment' (2005), a Turbine Hall installation of plaster casts of cardboard boxes. Whiteread selected works from the permanent collection by Sarah Lucas, Robert Morris, Barbara Hepworth, and Barry Flanagan to accompany her own. The exhibition runs until January 21, 2018.
