Sarah Lucas
HAPPY GAS
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, this visually stunning exhibition book invites the public to marvel at the diversity of her work across sculpture, installation, and photography. Breaking boundaries with her bawdy humor and bold daring, Lucas shows us the whole spectrum of what it truly means to be human.
This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition Sarah Lucas: HAPPY GAS, hosted by Tate Britain, London (September 2023 - January 2024). Featuring an artist interview with Louisa Buck, commissioned essays by Lauren Elkin, Nathalie Olah, and a new poem by artist Cerith Wyn Evans.
