TITTIPUSSIDAD

TITTIPUSSIDAD documents Sarah Lucas''s odyssey to Mexico throughout 2012 on the occasion of her exhibition at the Museo Diego Rivera Anahuacalli. This exhibition marked a significant development in Lucas''s art as her ''NUD'' sculptures - stuffed tights twisted into abstract contortions - evolved into playful and perverse anthropomorphic characters. Interweaving colour and black-and-white photographs, Julian Simmons has produced an unparalleled study into the way in which Lucas''s life informs and shapes her art. This publication as such, is an encyclopaedic chronicle combining the genres of exhibition catalogue, diary, photographic essay and epic poem. From the prologue, which offers an account into the Dada-esque wordplay of Lucas''s titles, to the ecclesiastical-style images of the installation at the Museo Diego Rivera, TITTIPUSSIDAD provides an emotive account of a pivotal moment in the artist''s life and career.
