On view now: Sarah Lucas’s “Venus Victoria”, the inaugural commission for the New Museum’s public plaza.
Recognized as one of Britain’s most significant contemporary artists, Lucas’ work has consistently been characterized by irreverent humor and the use of everyday, readymade materials—furniture, food, tabloid newspapers, tights and toilets. Spanning sculpture, photography and installation, her work evokes the body in its physical, cultural and spiritual dimensions.
Lucas was selected by an all-artist jury comprised of Teresita Fernández, Joan Jonas, Julie Mehretu, Cindy Sherman, and Kiki Smith.
Find Venus Victoria in a new outdoor plaza on Bowery at Prince Street, created as part of the New Museum’s OMA-designed building expansion.
