British artist Rachel Whiteread has unveiled her
latest exhibition - sculptures of garden sheds.
The
installation, entitled Detached, depicts the empty interior of three standard
sheds which have been rendered in concrete and steel.
The sculptures,
together with assorted casts of windows and doors, are being displayed at
London's Gagosian Gallery until 25 May.
Whiteread, 49,
became the first woman to receive the Turner Prize in 1993.
She won the
award for House - a concrete cast of the inside of an entire east London
Victorian terraced property that was due for demolition.
In June last
year, Whiteread revealed her first permanent public commission in the UK - a
frieze of golden leaves high above a street in east London.
The Tree of
Life sculpture fills a blank space above the entrance to the Whitechapel
Gallery.
Whiteread said
she made it "as a gift to the area, something that will brighten up
someone's day".
