The internationally renowned sculptor, Rachel Whiteread is to be the latest artist to take on the challenge of Tate Modern's vast Turbine Hall in autrumn 2005, following in the footsteps of Bruce Nauman's haunting sound installation Raw Materials. Whiteread is an appropriate choice for the commission as some of her best-known works have seen her engaged in a dialogue with architecture and public space. Her first large-scale public project, House, in 1993 was a concrete cast of a nineteenth-century terraced house in the East End of London that during the relatively short period of its existence became an international icon. She has since completed further site-specific projects, including the hauntingly simple Holocaust Memorial in Judenplatz, Vienna; Water Tower in New York; and Monument, an inverted clear glass plinth installed on the empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square. The physical representation of memory and absence is key to Whiteread's work and, by frequently destroying the original object in the casting process, she explores the theme of loss.This unique publication will follow the creative process of Whiteread's installation in the Turbine Hall, from inception through to completion. With stunning illustrations and photography throughout, this will be a fascinating record of what promises to be one of the most challenging commissions yet faced by this intriguing artist.

Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. 'To make a sculpture in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern is an enormous challenge. The space is like no other-gargantuan and enveloping. I hope to challenge the space by developing a degree of intimacy, which somehow relates to all our lives.

Seller's Description:
Fine. Exhibition Catalogue. 4to-over 9¾"-12" (UK) Presumed qst edition, No marking, Fine. Wraps with covers resembling a cardboard box, ^192çpp, colour photos; drawings. Whiteread is known for projects she created for public spacesincluding House in the East End of London, Holocaust Memorial in Judenplatz, Vienna, and Water Tower in New York. Thos book documents the creative process involved with her Embarkment project for the vast Turbine Hall in the Tate Modern. Although the inspiration for EMBANKMENT came from the single box she found in her mother's house, Whiteread selected a number of differently-shaped old boxes to construct the installation for the Turbine Hall. She filled them with plaster, peeled away the exteriors and was left with perfect casts, each recording and preserving all the bumps and indentations on the inside. They are ghosts of interior spaces or, if you like, positive impressions of negative spaces. Yet Whiteread wanted to retain their quality as containers, so she had them re-fabricated in a translucent polyethylene which reveals a sense of an interior. And rather than make precious objects of them, she constructed thousands. (2.8 JM LVR 206/b2.
