Sarah Lucas - Venus Victoria - New Museum - New York

Sarah Lucas’s selection as the first recipient of the Wrigley Sculpture Award follows her New Museum solo exhibition, Au Naturel (2018), which traveled to the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2019). Lucas works across sculpture, photography, and installation. Her practice has consistently been characterized by irreverent humor and the use of everyday “readymade” objects—furniture, food, tabloid newspapers, tights, toilets, cigarettes—to conjure up corporeal fragments. The body, in its many guises, is Lucas’s prevailing subject.

She has exhibited internationally since coming to prominence in the 1990s with solo shows Penis Nailed to a Board, City Racing, London (1992) and The Whole Joke, Kingly Street, London (1992), followed by a presentation at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1993). Go to Website
