Whiteread’s work ranges in scale from the modest to the monumental in a variety of materials.

Tate Britain is currently hosting the most substantial survey to date of work by Rachel Whiteread, one of the leading artists of her generation.

She primarily produces sculptures, which typically take the form of casts.

The exhibition reveals the extraordinary breadth of her career over three decades, from the four early sculptures shown in her first solo show in 1988 to works made this year especially for Tate Britain – including Chicken Shed, a new concrete shed installed outside the gallery.
