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.

What is new British Sculpture?

New British Sculpture is the name referring to the work produced by a group of sculptors, installation artists, and other creators who exhibited together in London during the 1980s. This group included artists like Richard Deacon, Richard Wentworth, and Tony Cragg. Tim Woods helped define this movement by identifying four major themes: the blending of kitsch and pop culture, the use of UK urban waste in a bricolage style, the assignment of new meanings to everyday objects, and a playful approach using wit and humor.
