Rachel Whiteread has single-handedly expanded the parameters of contemporary sculpture with her casts of the outer and inner spaces of familiar objects, sometimes in quiet monochrome, sometimes in vivid jewel-like colour. She won the Turner Prize in 1993, the same year as her first large-scale public project, House, a concrete cast of a nineteenth-century terraced house in London's east end. This book, by writer and editor Charlotte Mullins - the first significant survey to examine Whiteread's career to date - has been substantial updated with a new chapter containing 10 major works, including Tate's Turbine Hall installation Embankment and Cabin, Whiteread's first permanent public sculpture in America. Born in London in 1963, Rachel Whiteread is one of Britain's most exciting contemporary artists. Her work is characterised by its use of industrial materials such as plaster, concrete, resin, rubber and metal. With these she casts the surfaces and volume in and around everyday objects and architectural space, creating evocative sculptures that range from the intimate to the monumental.

Picturing People
An insightful look at how artists choose to represent people in their work, and why What drives artists to represent people as they do? This question, at the heart of figurative art, and how we represent ourselves as a society, is especially relevant today. Author Charlotte Mullins picks up the conversation at a time when the art world is influenced by the proliferation of images of all kinds, across all mediums, as well as a growing interest in figurative art. Profiles of nearly sixty artists—from Kara Walker and Grayson Perry to Cindy Sherman and Kehinde Wiley—showcase significant works and are accompanied by the artists’ commentary, illustrating the range of motivations, mediums, and techniques driving one of the most potent genres of art today. The book is organized into five thematic sections that reflect artists’ motivations, which range from investigating the history of art itself to exploring interpersonal relationships. Mullins’s keen curatorial eye picks out informed, sometimes unexpected juxtapositions of artists that reveal new affinities and distinctions between them, making Picturing People an important contribution to the study of figurative art.
Jan Vanriet - the Music Boy
The music boy' exhibition at the New Art Gallery Walsall is the artist?s first in the United Kingdom. A 168-page hardback, illustrated catalogue featuring extensive essays by Andrew Graham-Dixon and Martin Herbert, as well as a foreword by Charlotte Mullins was published on the occasion. The exhibition is titled after a quadriptych of paintings depicting the artist?s grandmother and his uncle playing an accordion. Jan Vanriet?s work mainly concerns the memory of history and the construction of pictorial surface. As Martin Herbert writes: ?Vanriet builds up his paintings in layers, and the strata of underpainting have, in his case, a polyvalent quality. In some cases they form glazes that gift the paintings with an internal glow. 00Exhibition: The New Art Gallery Walsall, Walsall, UK (29.01-08.05.2016).

A Season for No More Excuses
A Season For No More Excuses is a collection of my personal writings. Often inspired by lessons studied in Sunday School and readings in my daily devotionals, I wrote about what God put on my heart. A past Sunday School teacher of mine felt I had a book in me. In caring for my ailing mother, I put off many things, including my writing. Now that she is at rest with Our Heavenly Father, I have No More Excuses. I share these writings, in hopes that you will find the same encouragement as I did while writing them.
