Woman acquiring rubbish work of art (6)
I believe the answer is:
statue
'work of art' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'woman acquiring rubbish' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'sue' (woman's name).
'acquiring' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'rubbish' becomes 'tat' (low-quality items or material).
'sue' placed around 'tat' is 'STATUE'.
(Other definitions for statue that I've seen before include "See figure" , "Sculpture of person or animal" , "Figure, effigy" , "Firm figure" , "Life sculpture" .)
