Paperback. Bawdy and irreverent, the work of Sarah Lucas deliberately misconstrues the semiotics of gender and the bodyPublished with Kunsthalle Mannheim. In her often provocative objects, photographs, sculptures and installations, English artist Sarah Lucas (born 1962) cobbles together everyday objects to question social norms and gender stereotypes. Full of puns and raunchy innuendos, her works isolate parts of the human body--breasts, legs and genitalia among her most frequent motifs--and place them in uncomfortable, uncanny situations to make light of their social ascriptions. This catalog, for the first institutional exhibition of Lucas' work in Germany since 2005, brings together work from almost four decades of her practice. With both a title and cover image that illustrate Lucas' tongue-in-cheek sensibilities, Sense of Human is a fresh reexamination of a Young British Artist enjoying a new cultural significance. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Synopsis

Bawdy and irreverent, the work of Sarah Lucas deliberately misconstrues the semiotics of gender and the body

Published with Kunsthalle Mannheim.

In her often provocative objects, photographs, sculptures and installations, English artist Sarah Lucas (born 1962) cobbles together everyday objects to question social norms and gender stereotypes. Full of puns and raunchy innuendos, her works isolate parts of the human body―breasts, legs and genitalia among her most frequent motifs―and place them in uncomfortable, uncanny situations to make light of their social ascriptions. This catalog, for the first institutional exhibition of Lucas’ work in Germany since 2005, brings together work from almost four decades of her practice. With both a title and cover image that illustrate Lucas’ tongue-in-cheek sensibilities, Sense of Human is a fresh reexamination of a Young British Artist enjoying a new cultural significance.
