Rachel Whiteread in Art Review

Rachel Whiteread: Drawings
Hammer Museum, Los Angeles
Through April 25th

In the April, 2010 issue of Art Review, I invite you to read my review of Rachel Whiteread: Drawings at the Hammer Museum. This is a link to the article online. I disagree completely with the idea that Whiteread's work is an unremarkable footnote on the work of Bruce Nauman. I also disagree with the idea that the Hammer show of her drawings is a market driven or branded initiative that justifies showing minor work at the expense of other, perhaps more deserving, art. I find the drawings moving, important, and geeky -- which is what the Hammer does best.

Thanks for reading
