Overview

Spanning nearly ten years of the most exciting developments in contemporary British and international art, this lavishly illustrated publication brings together all seventy five exhibitions presented at White Cube during its nine year residency in 44 Duke Street, St. James's. Comprising two volumes, every exhibition is illustrated and includes reproductions of the installations, individual works presented by the artists, announcement cards created by the artists and entries on each exhibition. An essay by the artist and writer Liam Gillick serves as a response to this important exhibition programme which includes many of the most challenging artists worldwide: Peter Fischli/David Weiss, Lucian Freud, Katharina Fritsch, Nan Goldin, Mona Hatoum, Damien Hirst, Gary Hume, Ellsworth Kelly, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Sam Taylor-Wood, Doris Salcedo, Luc Tuymans and Jeff Wall. Jay Jopling opened the original White Cube, on the first floor of 44 Duke Street, St James's, in London's West End, in May 1993. Its exhibition policy was to provide a one-off showcase for individual British and international artists. The gallery's exhibition space, designed by the acclaimed minimalist architect Claudio Silvestrin, was a single room; a completely plain cube with white walls and no visible lights. It provided an intimate, focused environment in which artists were invited to present a single important work of art or a coherent body of work.
