The artwork titled “Untitled (Stairs)” is a sculpture created by Rachel Whiteread in 2001. This piece is associated with the art movements of Conceptual Art and Post-Minimalism.
The artwork presents a striking sculptural form, characterized by its abstract and engaging design. It features two large orthogonal structures representing staircases, set in an inverted and intersecting arrangement. The visual impact of the sculpture is heightened by its monumental size and the stark, uniform coloration of the material, which adds to its conceptual and minimalist aesthetic. The work showcases Whiteread’s signature technique of casting everyday architectural spaces, transforming the mundane into an object of contemplation and artistic inquiry. Positioned in an open gallery space with classical architectural elements in the background, the sculpture invites viewers to reflect on themes of space, form, and absence.
