The body – in its many guises – is Sarah Lucas’s prevailing subject. This is the first solo showing in the Nordic countries by this member of the renowned Young British Artists movement.

Over the course of three decades, Sarah Lucas (b. 1962, London) has become recognised as one of Britain’s most significant contemporary artists. Spanning sculpture, photography and installation, her work has consistently been characterised by irreverent humour and the use of everyday ‘readymade’ objects – furniture, food, tabloid newspapers, tights, toilets, cigarettes – to conjure up corporeal fragments.

In the 1990s she placed herself at the heart of her work in a series of photographic self-portraits. These images’ disarming mixture of vulnerability and attitudinising set the double-edged tone of much of the artist’s subsequent work.
