Catalogue Raisonné
The Rachel Whiteread Catalogue Raisonné is announcing a call for works for the preparation of a catalogue of all of Rachel Whiteread’s sculptures to be published by Art Publishing Inc. The completed volume will document Whiteread’s sculpture practice with an entry for each work that includes descriptive information and a comprehensive provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography. Editor Ann Gallagher and assistant editor Kira Wainstein will work closely with the artist’s studio to prepare the catalogue raisonné, with the support of Gagosian, Luhring Augustine, and Galleria Lorcan O’Neill.
Current and past owners of sculptures by the artist are encouraged to contact the editorial team at info@rwcatalogueraisonne.com to submit work for potential inclusion.

Rachel Whiteread will be in conversation with Tim Marlow, director of the Design Museum, London, for the next installment in the series of INSPIRED talks organized by the Sarabande Foundation. The pair will discuss Whiteread’s recent and current projects and delve into the twists and turns of her creative career to date—from concept to form, and everything in between. Using industrial materials such as plaster, concrete, resin, rubber, and metal to cast everyday objects and architectural elements, Whiteread’s sculptural works are instantly recognizable as evocative interrogations of negative space, from the domestic to the monumental.
This event was originally scheduled for Wednesday, December 6, 2023.

Encouraging passersby to celebrate a feeling of togetherness, Rachel Whiteread has used 102 white neon hoops to decorate the Connaught hotel’s 31-foot (9.4-meter) Nordmann’s fir. Whiteread regularly uses circular motifs within her practice and here they illuminate the streets of Mayfair, acting as a symbol of hope and unity this festive season.
