Lot Essay
“As a young artist I felt that in making art I could be objective, more objective than I could in life [...] And it’s true that you can have a proper look at something once it has some material reality. But I also equated this with being impersonal, in the sense of not being narrative or autobiographical. Looking at it all now it seems highly personal and more autobiographical than I thought – lots of Freudian slips.” (S. LUCAS, quoted in S. Mansfield, ‘Interview: Sarah Lucas on her shocking artwork’, in The Scotsman, 09 February 2014, http:/www.scotsman.com/ lifestyle/culture/art/interview-sarah-lucas-on-her-shocking-artwork-1-3300065 [accessed 9th September 2016])
