Sarah Lucas. After 2005, Before 2012

“After 2005, before 2012” is a major new publication surveying the work of Sarah Lucas from 2005 (the date of her existing catalogue raisonné) to 2011, when she had major solo exhibitions at Two Rooms, Auckland, New Zealand, and Kunsthalle Krems, Austria. The book traces the development of several important bodies of work, from the Penetralia series begun in 2008 — a series of totemic sculptures responding to the landscape of Suffolk — to the recent series of NUDS sculptures, consisting of nylon tights stuffed with fluff and fashioned into ambiguous biomorphic forms. The book includes a series of interviews between Lucas and artists, curators, writers and friends.
