Tracey Emin British, b. 1963
Biography
Tracey Emin was born in 1963 in London. She shares her time between the South of France and London.Emin's art is one of disclosure, using her life events as inspiration for works ranging from painting, drawing, video and installation, to photography, needlework and sculpture. Emin reveals her hopes, humiliations, failures and successes in candid and, at times, excoriating work.
Emin has exhibited extensively including solo exhibitions at Musée d'Orsay, Paris (2019); Château La Coste, Aix-en-Provence, France (2017); Leopold Museum, Vienna (2015); Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami (2013); Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (2012); Turner Contemporary, Margate, UK (2012); Hayward Gallery, London (2011); Kunstmuseum Bern (2009); Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh (2008); Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Malaga, Spain (2008); Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney (2003); and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2002).
In 2007 Emin represented Great Britain at the 52nd Venice Biennale and her installation My Bed has been included in 'In Focus' displays at Tate Britain with Francis Bacon (2015), Tate Liverpool with William Blake and also at Turner Contemporary, Margate alongside JMW Turner (2017). In 2011, Emin was appointed Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, and in 2012 was made Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for her contributions to the visual arts.
Emin's largest artwork to date is currently installed at St Pancras International, London. In November 2020, a landmark two-person exhibition with Tracey Emin and Edvard Munch will be presented at the Royal Academy of Arts, London which will tour to Oslo's Munch Museum, Norway. To coincide, in Spring 2021, a major permanent 7-metre high bronze sculpture commission by Emin entitled The Mother will be unveiled on Museum Island, Oslo.
