Rachel Whiteread Drawings

Los Angeles: The Hammer Museum; DelMonico Books, 2010. First edition. A clean copy with no internal markings. 10 x 8 inches. 224 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original pictorial boards. "This elegant volume accompanies the first museum survey of drawings by Rachel Whiteread, tracing her career from the late 1980s to the present. While Whiteread's public works such as House, the monumental cast of a nineteenth-century terraced house in the East End of London that earned her the Turner Prize, Water Tower, which graced the skyline of downtown Germany, and Untitled Monument in Trafalgar Square are renowned, her works on paper have remained largely unknown to the general public. This book explores Whiteread's draftsmanship, a lesser-known yet fundamentally important aspect of the artist's creative process" (the publisher).
