Looking Up : Rachel Whiteread's Water Tower

description

This book documents the conception, construction, and installation of Rachel Whiteread's Water Tower. Texts by Rachel Whiteread, Neville Wakefield, Tom Eccles, Luc Sante, and Molly Nesbit, with a commentary compiled by Louise Neri. Includes artist's biography and notes on the writers. Printed in color and black-and-white. "In June 1998, a mysterious translucent object appeared on the skyline of downtown Manhattan amidst the forest of wooden water towers that remain one of New York City's most intriguing architectural curiosities. Created by renowned British artist Rachel Whiteread as a commission for the Public Art Fund, the subtle and enigmatic Water Tower has regenerated a spirited and imaginative discourse on public sculpture as an active agent in the City's architecture and urban archaeology. Looking Up traces the development of this extraordinary project from its beginnings in the pages of the artist's notebook through the complex orchestration of its production and installation. And in this process emerges a local history of our most vital structure." -- publisher's statement.
