Take a closer look at the diversity of Sarah Lucas’s work across sculpture, installation and photography with this stunning hardback exhibition book.

Sarah Lucas is an internationally celebrated artist known for the provocative use of materials and imagery in her work. Incorporating ordinary objects in unexpected ways, she has consistently challenged our understandings of sex, class and gender over the last four decades.

Looking beyond the generation of 1990s Young British Artists during which Lucas emerged, the book explores the themes and artworks of Tate Britain’s Sarah Lucas: Happy Gas exhibition. Breaking boundaries with her bawdy humour and bold daring, Lucas shows us the whole spectrum of what it truly means to be human. Contributions from Louisa Buck, Nathalie Olah, Lauren Elkin and more help us delve into Lucas's world.
