A pale silver-grey graph-paper field carries fifty soft-edged little ghosts in five rows of ten, each square outlined faintly and tinted in pastel — cream, pale yellow, mint, peach, pearl-grey, blush. They feel like the cast interiors of small intimate objects, set out in pure inventory.

Whiteread's celebrated negative-space sculpture distilled to its purest possible print — a focused, contemplative piece to acquire.

Screen-print Screen printing is a technique where ink is transferred through a mesh onto a substrate, with areas blocked by a stencil to prevent ink from passing through. This method, also known as serigraphy or silkscreen printing, is commonly used to produce prints on posters, T-shirts, vinyl, stickers, wood, and other materials. The process is a type of stencil printing, allowing for vibrant, detailed designs on various surfaces.

I don't want to make plop art — sculpture that just gets plopped down in places. I wouldn't want to litter every corner of the world with my sculpture.
- Rachel Whiteread

Rachel Whiteread (b. 1963, UK) is a British sculptor known for her pioneering work in sculpture that explores the negative space of everyday objects and architectural forms. As a leading figure in the Young British Artists (YBAs) movement, Whiteread gained international acclaim for her innovative technique of casting the interiors of objects and spaces, effectively capturing the voids that surround us. Her most famous work, "House" (1993), a life-sized cast of the interior of a Victorian terrace house, challenged perceptions of memory, absence, and domesticity. Whiteread's use of materials like concrete, resin, and plaster allows her to create works that are both monumental and deeply personal, reflecting on the traces of human presence. Her sculptures have been exhibited in major institutions worldwide, including the Tate Modern in London and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, establishing her as one of the most influential contemporary artists of her generation.

Who are the Young British Artists - YBA

Young British Artists (YBAs), also known as Britart or Brit artists, refers to a group of artists who began exhibiting together in London in 1988. Most of them graduated from the BA Fine Arts course at Goldsmiths in the late 1980s. The YBAs are known for their wild lifestyles, use of unconventional materials, and a combination of entrepreneurial and oppositional attitudes. They dominated the British art scene in the 1990s and gained significant media attention. Many of these artists were initially supported and collected by Charles Saatchi, a key figure in their rise to prominence.
