sarah lucas - modern artists series (matthew collings)

even though i've always liked her photographic portraits more than her sculptures, i have to admit that her views on them, and all the her explanations about the creative process of each individual work, made me appreciate them more. i loved the comparisons with duchamp and koons and all her thoughts about life and her own work, as well as (obviously) her omnipresent themes of death and sex. i felt rather disappointed by the introduction, though, i thought it was empty art-critic's wank, but i'm very happy i kept on reading, because the rest of the book is well worth it. i love it when an art book makes you see more things than you originally saw in an artist's work. that's how it should be.

Rating: 8/10
