Los Angeles – This winter the Hammer Museum presents a
retrospective of drawings by
Rachel Whiteread , the first large-scale museum survey of work on
paper by the British
artist. Organized by
Allegra
Pesenti, curator of the
Grunwald Center for the Graphic
Arts, this exhibition includes key examples of the
artist’s sculpture displayed alongside
her drawings. The exhibition features 155
drawings, 8 sculptures, and a vitrine filled
with roughly 200 objects selected by Whiteread. Although her
sculpture is well-known
and widely published, Whiteread’s work on paper has remained
largely behind the
scenes until now. On view January 31 through 25 April,
2010.
