One's nob (iii)
2006
A provocative and irreverent work by British artist Sarah Lucas, *One's nob (iii)* exemplifies her signature use of crude humor and everyday objects to challenge gender norms and social taboos. Lucas subverts traditional notions of the body and sexuality, employing her characteristic wit to confront the viewer with bold, unapologetic imagery. The work sits firmly within her broader practice of dismantling power structures through playful yet sharply critical visual language.

Artists in conversation
Tracey Emin
British · b. 1963
As a fellow YBA artist, Emin similarly uses raw autobiographical content and provocative imagery to challenge social taboos around sexuality and gender, employing a confessional and unapologetic visual language that directly parallels Lucas's approach in this work.
Cindy Sherman
American · b. 1954
Sherman's conceptual feminist practice interrogates constructions of femininity, the body, and societal power structures through bold and often darkly humorous imagery, sharing the same critical dismantling of gender norms central to this Lucas piece.
Paul McCarthy
American · b. 1945
McCarthy employs crude everyday objects, dark humor, and deliberately irreverent sculptural forms to confront viewers with taboo subject matter around the body and sexuality, closely mirroring the provocative conceptual strategy Lucas deploys in this work.
