The first major book on one of England's most important young artists. At a time when young British artists are receiving international acclaim and attention, Rachel Whiteread is generally considered to be one of the foremost sculptors of her generation. First nominated for the Turner Prize in 1991, she was awarded the prize in 1993. The same year, she confirmed her increasing national and international reputation with House, the sculpture cast from a condemned terraced house in East London. In November 1996, her Holocaust Memorial, one of Europe's most prestigious public commissions of this decade, was inaugurated in Vienna's Judenplatz. Whiteread works with everyday objects and, above all, with the spaces in, under, or around them. Her castings interrogate the familiar, looking under the rug and inside the closet at the spaces and structures among which we live. This book, produced in collaboration with the artist, is the most comprehensive publication to date on her work; it accompanies a major retrospective exhibition at the Tate Gallery. It includes a conversation between the artist and noted critic Rosalind Krauss, and essays by Michael Tarantino, Bartomeu Mari, and Stuart Morgan.

Starlit waters: British sculpture : an international art, 1968-1988

Lewis Biggs

<p>Barbara Hepworth's career spanned five decades, from 1925 to 1975. Her style moved from figuration, through geometric and organic abstraction, to the internationally acclaimed grandeur of her large-scale, post-war work. Her best known sculpture is associated with the landscape around St. Ives in Cornwall: 'I used colour and strings in many of the carvings ... The colour plunged me into the depths of water, caves or shadows deeper than the carved concavities themselves. The strings were the tension I felt between myself and the sea, the wind or the hills.'<br>This publication focuses on Hepworth's unique carvings. It reassesses her reputation in the light of attention recently paid to her contemporaries, Ben Nicholson and Henry Moore and offers the opportunity to look afresh at a major British artist.</p>
