  Exhibiton 72; Sarah Lucas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Sarah Lucas may be known to some Portikus visitors by her participation in the group exhibition "Karaoke (Football World Cup) - Georg Herold and guests" in July of 1994, where she showed her sculptures "Au Naturel" and "Bitch" for the first time.
Sarah Lucas creates rebellious objects from simple, everyday materials and objects such as fruits, discarded furniture, and found articles; objects that possess grotesque and macabre qualities that go beyond pure punch lines and are provocative in a persistent manner.
Sarah Lucas, who studied at Goldsmith's College in London and grew up in the rough working-class neighbourhoods in east London - where she still lives today - intensively investigates social clichés, especially in regard to gender roles and sexual identification.

 Sarah Lucas: 50 Works, 1900 to present - Kunsthalle Zurich - Absolutearts.com
Sarah Lucas’ works are filled with a liberating lack of illusion, expanding the imaginative field of many well-known forms of art and everyday life.
Lucas repeatedly takes up male behavior patterns and undermines these marvelously with female nonchalance as is evidenced particularly by her series of self-portraits (1990-1998) in which she incorporates the double role of the author and the object of the gaze into the cycle of mixed roles and suggestiveness.
Sarah Lucas’ oeuvre is playing with the “major” themes with impressive formal ease and yet with great precision, creating ambivalent images with which she light-heartedly exposes the contradictoriness of our associations and perceptual structures.

 Tate Liverpool | Past Exhibitions | Sarah Lucas
Lucas makes sculptures from a heterogeneous and unexpected range of everyday materials, such as worn furniture, clothing, fruit, vegetables, newspapers, cigarettes, cars, resin, plaster, neon lamps and light fittings.
Sarah Lucas attended Goldsmiths College from 1984–7 and showed her work in Freeze, the legendary exhibition curated by Damien Hirst in 1988.
Lucas' first solo exhibition was at City Racing in 1992 and in 1993 she set up The Shop with Tracey Emin, a temporary retail outlet selling art multiples.

 SARAH LUCAS at the FREUD MUSEUM by Raichel Le Goff
Lucas (born London 1962) is one of the original Goldsmiths College graduates who participated in Damien Hirst’s ‘Freeze’ show in 1988 which is now seen as the event that kick-started the current BritArt phenomenon.
Lucas has strategically placed five foot high red obelisks near the legs, again introducing the phallus, although one presumes the obelisks are permanent fixtures of Freud’s study.
Lucas and Freud is a connection of concepts rather than objects evoking history and if visitors had time to stop heavy breathing over the romance of sepia photographs and tapestry camassars, they might witness how Freudian symbolism can be relevant to art today.

 Guardian Unlimited Arts | Arts features | Sarah Lucas gives an exclusive interview to Gordon Burn
Lucas read all the standard feminist texts as a student (Andrea Dworkin later used one of her sculptures, Bitch, for the cover of a book) and then, believing they could be restricting, or at least overly prescriptive for an artist, abandoned them.
Lucas was a fan: in her cups, she often gives sing-along renditions of Billericay Dickie and What a Waste, belting it out like some androgyne Marie Lloyd or Gertie Gertana.
Lucas is occasionally snapped at A-list events and gallery openings, but she is not part of the movable feast of paparazzi targets in the way that contemporaries such as Sam Taylor-Wood and Tracey Emin, for instance, are.

 Sarah Lucas: A Catalog Raisonné
That was the title of Sarah Lucas’s last show in New York, in which the pun-prone artist assembled an array of sculptures constructed from cast concrete forms, tacky beige nylon stockings, and random metal objects.

Lucas shares with Lowe and Thomson the subversive use of humour to unsettle and provoke.
Curated by Matthew Higgs and Paul Noble, two of the best-informed and influential young British artists, this international group show is a reaction against the slacker attitude glorified by much of the recent Britpack and a polemical call for passion and complexity in contemporary art.

Sarah Lucas exhibited one of her most famous works, Two Fried Eggs and a Kebab, in 1992, in a shop in Soho.
Every morning, she had to get up and buy a kebab, then fry the eggs, then arrange them carefully on a table.
So enormously successful has she become, the carefully posed eggs and melons, the fags and obscenely gesturing Þsts, the scowling self-portraits and titillating tabloids, have passed into YBA iconography as surely as Damien Hirst's cows and Tracey Emin's tent.
