There have been seven previous installations in the Tate Modern’s Unilever exhibitions series, of which I have seen four and enjoyed them all to various extents.

Today I occupied my lunch hour with a walk to the Tate Modern so I could see the new installation in the turbine hall – Embankment by Rachel Whiteread. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed by it. Maybe it was spoiled for me by having seen so many photographs of it […]
