Sarah LucasDuring a career that has brought her controversy and acclaim in equal measure, Sarah Lucas has made art from the discarded and the unexpected, incorporating such diverse materials as cigarettes, food, second-hand furniture and her own self-image. In the first comprehensive survey of her work, popular writer and broadcaster Matthew Collings explores one of contemporary art's most fascinating figures. New interviews give an insight into the artist's own assessment of her work. With over 100 colour illustrations. |
