Sarah Lucas

(1962-), Artist

Sitter in 15 portraits
Artist of 12 portraits
One of the YBA (Young British Artist) generation, Sarah Lucas graduated from Goldsmith's College in 1987. She exhibited in Freeze (1988), Saatchi Gallery's Young British Artists II (1993) and Sensation (1997). In 1993, she ran her art multiples shop with Tracey Emin for six months. Her works using photography, collage and found objects are often visual puns, which examine gender in a tabloid-orientated society.
