===''Water Tower''===
In 1998, Whiteread made ''Water Tower'' as part of a grant for New York City's [[Public Art Fund]]. The piece, which is 12' 2" and 9' in diameter, was a translucent resin cast of a [[water tower]] installed on a rooftop in New York City's [[SoHo]] district.<ref name="Neri1999">{{cite book|last=Neri|first=Louise|title=Looking up: Rachel Whiteread's Water Tower|year=1999|publisher=Public Art Fund|isbn=978-3-908247-16-6|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/rachelwhitereads0000unse}}</ref> It has been called "an extremely beautiful object, which changes colour with the sky, and also a very appropriate one, celebrating one of the most idiosyncratic and charming features of the New York skyline."<ref name=Barber2001 /> The piece is now in the permanent collection of the [[Museum of Modern Art]] (MoMA).<ref>{{cite web |title=Rachel Whiteread.
