7.5 x 12.7cm, red felt tip pen on card . Verso – address label with text: “Lucas & Emin/103 Bethnal Green Road/London E2/071 729 2212.” For six months in 1993, Sarah Lucas and Tracey Emin rented a retail space in East London where they made artworks, ranging from cardboard signs and printed mugs to T-shirts with slogans and ashtrays, and put them on sale. The space was known as `The Shop` and has become a famous event in the history of the YBAs. This is one of the small text works on card produced by the pair and sold at the event. Unique and very rare item.
