Sarah Lucas emerged in the early 1990s as part of the Young British Artists generation, gaining notoriety for her bawdy and irreverent sculptures. Often utilizing found objects, Lucas provokes viewers with works that challenge our notions of sex, gender, and the human body. Featuring eight essays and an interview with the artist, this volume reveals the breadth and complexity of Lucas's work in collage, photography, and sculpture over the past three decades.
