Self Portraits 1990-1998 (complete portfolio of 12 works)

1999

A comprehensive series of twelve iris prints on watercolour paper, this portfolio documents Sarah Lucas's provocative and defiant self-representation across nearly a decade. Lucas confronts the viewer directly, employing everyday objects, casual dress, and raw, unposed attitudes to challenge conventional notions of femininity, identity, and the male gaze. Together, the works form a powerful visual autobiography that cemented her reputation as one of the most subversive voices of the Young British Artists generation.
