Object Sarah Lucas: Bunny Book

£55

Sarah Lucas has been making her “Bunny” series since 1997: soft, fleshy sculptures fashioned from stuffed tights to evoke the seated female nude. Often sporting stilettos or heeled boots, these ‘women’ feature breasts made from balloons and impossibly long limbs that wrap around their chairs. Some appear vulnerable and uncomfortable while others seem to ooze self confidence as they sprawl upon their seats.

A full cast of these uncanny sculptures stars in Sarah Lucas: Bunny Book, co-published by Walther König and Sadie Coles HQ. Designed by Studio Claus Due, it charts their evolution, including the addition of colour, plinths and metal, as well as their increasingly assertive poses. Produced to coincide with Lucas’ show Happy Gas at Tate Modern, it includes contributions from curator Nancy Spector and writers Rose Eastwood and Róisín Tapponi. Don your stilettos and slouch in a chair while you flick through this must-have tome.
