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 New York,

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. My drawings are a diary of my work,

Whiteread explains, and like the passages in a diary her

drawings range from fleeting ideas to laboured reflections.

This book sheds light on the distinctive characteristics of her

works on paper, such as their variegated textures, the subtle

nuances of tone over colored graph paper, and the play of

imagery in collaged constructions. It presents exquisite

reproductions of Whiteread s drawings, with essays by Allegra

Pesenti and Ann Gallagher. A visual essay by Whiteread is a

distinguishing feature of the volume, reflecting an installation

of found and made objects gathered from various sources.

Taken as a parallel to her sculpture or seen as a further

dimension of her art, her drawings constitute a significant and

defined area of Whiteread s remarkable career, one that

deserves close attention and celebration.
