/ The Gagosian Gallery on Grosvenor Hill is a quietly present, subtly magnificent slab of grey, and inside there are several large top-lit galleries. The building has managed to create the atmosphere that is most conducive to looking at art: we are both receptive to awe, wonder, notions of the special and outstanding, and also comfortable, neither intimidated nor patronised. This is particularly appropriate for the art of Rachel Whiteread. Her work is determined to make us see the overlooked and the invisible – MV Her work is determined to make us see the overlooked and the invisible. Her subjects are the disregarded, the overlooked, the quotidian. She has cast a piece of cardboard in bronze, dolls’ house furniture in polystyrene. She is best known for House, the cast – literally – of the inside space of a small typical urban house, two-floored, modest. Coloured white, and for all its solidity curiously ghost-like, it existed as an installation in East London for six weeks. That was the contract between artist and local authority, and it was adhered to, despite petitions and articles saying it should be longer. Longer would have meant taking it for granted, perhaps covering it in graffiti; now it lingers in the memory and in publications detailing its past existence.
