Sarah Lucas
Honey Pie
On view at Gladstone’s uptown project space, “Honey Pie” features new work by Sarah Lucas. This group of bronze and “soft” sculptures represent a continuation of the British artist’s “Bunnies” series,” which she began in 1997.
Throughout the show, Lucas’s signature humanoid forms—a jumble of legs, arms, breasts, among other fleshy, limb-like shapes—wrap provocatively around chairs, with some pieces festooned with high-heeled shoes, lending them an even more overtly sexualized spirit. The gallery characterizes them as “plump and luscious figures both de Sadean and mod.”
