Her best-known piece is Two Fried Eggs and a Kebab, a work that wittily combines the aforementioned materials with a junk-shop table and manages to comment on not only sexism and gender but also mortality, language, and the tradition of the female nude in Western art. Matthew Collings explores Lucas's art and ideas in this first thorough look at one of today's most important artists. (570,0514) .
