About the Item

Rachel Whiteread 50 Spaces - Contemporary art, 21st Century, Pastel Inks, Editions, Screenprint 2021 Screenprint Edition of 300 60 × 76 cm (23.62 × 29.92 in) Signed, titled and numbered In mint condition PLEASE NOTE: Edition numbers could vary from the one shown in the images. Rachel Whiteread, along with seven other leading international artists, were asked to create a print to celebrate Tate Modern’s 21st anniversary. A third of the profits from the sale of each print will benefit Tate. British artist Rachel Whiteread is best known for her peculiarly poignant renderings of the negative space that invisibly occupies our architectural and domestic surroundings. One of her most well-known series of sculptures involves the casting of the underside of chairs which are installed in various configurations, including a shimmering grid of 100 multicoloured resin boxes which made up her installation 'Untitled (One Hundred Spaces)’ displayed in Tate Britain’s Duveen galleries in 2018. Her screenprint for Tate Modern 21 Years - '50 Spaces’ (2021) directly references this body of work, with each of the chair forms rendered in delicate, sometimes semi-transparent pastel inks. "I really trained as a painter. I was at Brighton for three years. The first year I painted, the second year I didn’t really paint and the third year I definitely didn’t paint. It was really just a path I was following. I was frustrated with things being just on the wall. I wanted to draw things down to the floor, to be in the room. I think there’s always been a painterly aspect to what I do though. I’ve always made drawings and the drawings often use paint and different media. I’ve made a lot of prints, too. It’s always been something I’m interested in – the two-dimensional aspect of what I do. It’s often the way I think, and a sort of mindful reaction to doing the other more heavy-duty work of casting and sculpting."—Rachel Whiteread RACHEL WHITEREAD Dame Rachel Whiteread DBE is an English artist who primarily produces sculptures that explore architecture, space, absence and memory, which typically take the form of casts. Absence is made present, interior becomes exterior, and the invisible is rendered visible, as Whiteread has famously described it “mummifying the air”. Among her most renowned works are "House", a large concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian house; the "Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial" in Vienna, resembling the shelves of a library with the pages turned outwards; and "Untitled Monument", her resin sculpture for the empty fourth plinth in London's Trafalgar Square. Whiteread was the first woman to win the annual Turner Prize in 1993. She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2006 and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2019 Birthday Honours for services to art. “ There’s certain work that I make that has a clarity to it, it’s poetic, with clean lines – like the resin works – and then there’s other work that has more of a residue, like the bronzes and Doppelganger and Poltergeist. They have a real essence of the world in them. There’s a minimal aspect to my work and people like to put labels on things. People often say: “She makes minimalism with a heart – a sort of female version of minimalism.” ” —Rachel Whiteread
