Sarah Lucas

This catalogue accompanies the British Pavilion solo exhibit at the Venice Biennale in 2015 (9 May - 22 November 2015).Sarah Lucas' works for the British Pavilion reprise and reinvent the themes that have come to define her powerfully irreverent art - gender, death, sex, and the innuendo residing in everyday objects.Throughout this latest group of works, the body - sexual, comedic, majestic - remains a crucial point of return, while Lucas's work continues to confront big themes with a distinctive wit.'Humour is about negotiating the contradictions thrown up by convention. To a certain extent humour and seriousness are interchangeable. Otherwise it wouldn't be funny. Or devastating.' - Sarah LucasThe catalogue also includes text by Sarah Lucas and poems by D.H. Lawrence.Photography by Julian Simmons.
