Yilmaz Dziewior, Kunstverein in Hamburg, Beatrix Ruf, Kunsthalle Zürich, Sadie Coles and Martin Prinzhorn, 2005Publisher: Hatje Cantz This monograph features an extensive overview of the unusual photographs, sculptures and installations by Sarah Lucas, which often appear raw and aggressive.

Its pages include unpublished behind-the-scenes material, together with ephemera from the photographers' archives about the making of their books. With an introduction by Fred Ritchin and texts by Carole Naggar, this book explores the evolution of the photobook, as well as the important role that Magnum has played in the history of documentary photography.

This book about books is one that I must have in the library." —Mike Davis...
