She cast an entire Victorian terrace house in a famous work that won her the Turner Prize but today Rachel Whiteread unveiled something rather more modest — casts of a simple garden shed.

A new exhibition includes several works rendering the empty interior of a garden shed in concrete and steel.

The artist, 49, who in 1993 was the first woman to win the Turner Prize, has become famous for her casts seen in the Sensation show at the Royal Academy and on the Trafalgar Square fourth plinth.

Rachel Whiteread: Detached, is at the Gagosian Gallery in Britannia Street, King’s Cross, until May 25. Admission free.
