The limited edition, Untitled (Tiles), 2005/2017, was produced by Rachel Whiteread in support of Tate and on the occasion of the exhibition, Rachel Whiteread, 12 September 2017 – 21 January 2018, Tate Britain. Presented in a bespoke frame with a sprayed white finish, there are four remaining of the five signed and numbered Directors’ Reserves*.

Although Whiteread is renowned for her evocative large-scale sculptures and castings, drawing has always remained one of her core activities. Her work on paper shares many of the themes familiar from her public commissions: texture and surface; void and presence; absence and memory.

*Directors’ Reserves (or DRs) are an extra smaller edition that exists outside of the limited edition. They are produced as a way for a non-profit institution to raise extra funds after the edition has sold out and are signed and numbered by the artist.
