Rachel Whiteread Poltergeist. This new work is called poltergeist, recalling one of whiteread’s earliest masterpieces, ghost (1990), the solid plaster cast of an abandoned victorian living room on london’s archway road. The one called “poltergeist” has the appearance of an abandoned shelter.
Whiteread 45/300' on the accompanying certificate of authenticity polyurethane 23 x 66 x 15 cm (9 x 25 7/8 x 5 7/8 in.) executed in 2009, this work is number 45 from an edition of 300 and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. The smaller wall works also merit closer inspection. Showing now at gagosian in london, whiteread’s sculpture gives a unique incarnation to the uncanny, through its focus on the specific process by which familiar shapes and objects can be made alien to their observer.

Open By Appointment Only, Rachel Whiteread’s “Internal Objects” Is On View At Gagosian’s Grosvenor Hill Location Through June 6.
It appears “ripped open, torn apart, smashed, collapsed”, as mr calvocoressi puts it. Whiteread employs the formal language of minimalism, taking cues from its emphasis on geometric seriality, yet adds a quietly emotive aspect, maintaining an acute sensitivity to objects’ minor details and subtle markers of use and human irregularity.

The shed has burst apart, like a festering wound. At gagosian’s grosvenor hill gallery, rachel whiteread presents a new series of works which continue her interest in uncovering the hidden stories behind everyday objects. Removing the exterior shell left a mould of the home’s interior.
There’s A Void In These Works That’s Both Like And Unlike The Literal Cavities Of Spaces That Whiteread Has Previously Cast In Order To Preserve:
Corrugated iron, beech, pine, oak, household paint and mixed media, 305 × 280 × 230 cm. Poltergeist, and its slyly named partner, doppelgänger, are not cast but. Rather, they are original new constructions collaged together from planks and branches, all as found but painted white.
The Smaller Wall Works Also Merit Closer Inspection.
