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. Featuring an artist interview with Louisa Buck, new texts by writers Lauren Elkin and Nathalie Olah and a new poem by the artist Cerith Wyn Evans, Happy Gas is a brash, tender and boundary-breaking exploration of what makes us human. Sarah Lucas: Happy Gas is a long-overdue monograph for one of the most provocative and controversial British artists of our time.
