Demolished

"Demolished" is a photographic work by Rachel Whiteread documenting the destruction of three residential estates, presented as a series of prints organized into three annotated sets (A, B, and C). The work exemplifies Whiteread's ongoing engagement with absence, loss, and the ephemeral nature of domestic spaces through photography. Published by The Paragon Press in a limited edition of 35 numbered sets plus 10 artist's proofs, the prints serve as a poignant record of urban transformation and the erasure of everyday architectural histories.

Medium: All signed and annotated 'A', 'B' or 'C' (corresponding to the estate depicted) in pencil on the reverse, and numbered 33/35 in pencil on the colophon (there were also 10 artist's proof sets), published by The Paragon Press, London, all unframed.
