A print inspired by the Covid pandemic will be displayed in government buildings in the UK and embassies abroad after Rachel Whiteread was announced as the fifth British artist to be commissioned by the Government Art Collection.

Untitled (Bubble) uses circular motifs reflecting the microscopic form of Covid-19 and a time when physical contact between people was reduced to bubbles. It was created with various domestic items and washing-up liquid.
