| | Whiteread was born in 1963, in London, and began her artistic career by studying painting at Brighton Polytechnic in 1982. | | | Whiteread's sculptures have been described as being analogous to death masks of the contemporary world, for her art not only displays the process of destruction and reconstruction, but simultaneously alludes to the life behind and beyond the object. | | | Rachel Whiteread's renowned House (1993-94) stirred London and left its mark on the cultural world, as evidenced in her receipt of the 1993 Turner Prize. |

| | Whiteread's House was a natural extension of her inverted casts of domestic objects such as mattresses, chairs, tables and water bottles that grew in scale to include the cast of a single room, Ghost, which was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in 1994. | | | Rachel Whiteread was approached by the Public Art Fund four years ago, shortly after explosive public interest in House, her concrete cast of an East London row house, for which she received the prestigious Turner Prize. | | | She was educated at Brighton Polytechnic and the Slade School of Art. |

| | artnet.com Magazine Features - Casting Call |
| | Whiteread is the rare case of an excellent public sculptor being an iffy gallery artist. | | | Whiteread's art is situated at a critical juncture on the English continuum. | | | At Luhring Augustine, Whiteread again falls short of bringing the scale and the realness of her outdoor sculpture indoors (Ghost, a cast of an English parlor now on view in "Sensation," is still her most successful gallery piece). |

| | Whiteread's first solo exhibition was held at the Carlyle Gallery, London, in 1988, the year after she graduated. | | | In 1992-93 Rachel Whiteread worked in Berlin on the DAAD Artists' Programme, which afforded her time to develop her sculpture. | | | This established Whiteread as an artist whose work was different, and pertinent in its simplicity and directness. |

| | Whiteread was selected for her 'resonant sculptures of the spaces surrounding domestic objects and rooms,' as seen in her installation works shown at the Chisenhale Gallery, and her work House, publicly exhibited in collaboration with Artangel. | | | Soon after she had been shortlisted, Whiteread made House, a cast of the interior of the last remaining house of a late-nineteenth century terrace in the East End of London; this became a focus for debate about contemporary art in the year she won the prize. | | | Between 1982 and 1987 she trained at Brighton Polytechnic and the Slade School of Art. |

| | Whiteread's work is appraised both in terms of its relationship to art history and its social and political impact, and examined for theoretical approaches through which we may better understand this most complex and challenging of contemporary artists. | | | Whiteread's work is, perhaps, provoking because it so successfully melds artistic and historical issues, restoring to public attention neglected issues that more dominant interests would wish forgotten. | | | Tate Modern Artists: Rachel Whiteread (Modern Artists) by Charlotte Mullins |

| | Colleagues are sworn to secrecy and even Whiteread's fellow artists won't be drawn on the subject. | | | Her work, too, tends to be more precise and formal than the conceptual fireworks of the other YBAs, coloured by the past and containing what she describes as "the residue of years and years of use". | | | In contrast to her more flamboyant contemporaries, Whiteread shuns publicity, dividing her time between a remote Welsh farmhouse and the converted east London synagogue she shares with her long-term partner, fellow sculptor Marcus Taylor. |

| | Rachel Whiteread has created some of the most remarkable and resonant public sculptures of recent years. | | | In this video profile Rachel Whiteread speaks about the ideas that prompted a number of her best-known sculptures, including Ghost, her first cast of the space inside a complete room, and Plinth, which established a shimmering presence in London's Trafalgar Square during the summer of 2001. | | | Her art is a uniquely poetic response to the everyday, and to the haunting themes of memory and mortality. |

| | Guggenheim Museum - Singular Forms |
| | Whiteread's work is firmly rooted in the reductive sensibility of 1960s Minimalism, but its clear connection to the empirical world expands well beyond the detached abstraction of the previous movement. | | | An installation of 100 polyester resin cubes cast from the voids under 100 different chairs, the sculpture follows the precedent of Bruce Nauman, who cast the space under a chair in 1965 (a concept he said he premised on Willem de Kooning's advice to render a chair by depicting the space between its rungs). | | | Other works by Whiteread, like the multicomponent Untitled (One Hundred Spaces), are lyrical in the simplicity of their forms and their poetic rendering of space. |

| | Her simplified, abstract transformations of familiar forms, including bathtubs, chairs, and mattresses, often recall Minimalist sculpture. | | | Like earlier works by Bruce Nauman and Joseph Beuys, Whiteread presents the cast of the negative space defined by an object as the final artwork, rather than replicating the object itself. | | | Untitled (Library) is one of a series of works related to the Holocaust Memorial in Vienna, Austria, designed by Whiteread and inaugurated in 2000. |

| | In the end, there is a translucent idealism in Whiteread's works. | | | Chasing after authenticity, Whiteread is nostalgic for a time and place of absolutes. | | | If Whiteread is part of the British invasion, she is counter to her fellow Brits in one more important way: hers is more an act of self-colonizing than of pioneering frontier territory or throwing over existing tropes. |
