Untitled (History)
Books are repositories of our shared culture. This work was made by casting the space around a set of bookshelves. The books themselves are absent, only their ghostly traces remain. Whiteread has created a series of these sculptures that act as a form of memorial. Untitled (History) suggests how easily collective memory can be lost.
