Synopsis
In 1993 Rachel Whiteread created a work of art which was hailed as one of the greatest public sculptures made by an English artist in the twentieth century. Whiteread's concrete and plaster cast of an entire house in the East End of London attracted equal measures of praise, wonder and controversy. Her monumental sculpture, on view when she won the Turner Prize, attracted some 3,000 visitors a day before it was demolished in January 1994. This book is made in collaboration with the Artangel Trust and provides a unique document of this remarkable work.
Photographs and working drawings chart House's progress from construction to demolition. Six distinguished authors contribute their responses and the book also surveys the whole spectrum of critical reaction to the work.

Review
'A sort of time capsule, as much concerned with public reaction as with the artist's wishes and as such it will accumulate aura down the years.' (Observer) 'The range of illustrative material is unusually good, reflecting the writers' varied standpoints in this perceptive and illuminating book.' (Building Design)
