This retrospective shows Lucas to be the most impressive and polymorphously perverse survivor of the YBA (Young British Artists) generation. Much of her work is gloriously vulgar and funny; often, it is crude but simultaneously displaying a sophistication, wit and sureness of touch which marks her out as an exceptional artist. This combination is exemplified by Two Fried Eggs and a Kebab (below) which, for my money, is one of the great works of art of the C20.
Read reviews by Adrian Searle, Alastair Sooke, Jackie Wullschlager.
