Louisiana Museum of Modern Art to Host Tracey Emin Retrospective 'A Second Life' Organized by Tate Modern
Tate Modern in London is organizing the exhibition Tracey Emin: A Second Life. The show surveys nearly 40 years of the British artist's practice in painting, drawing, sculpture, textile, film and installation, including the 1998 work My Bed that was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1999. It was created in close collaboration with Emin and contains works never previously shown. Emin, born in 1963, emerged in the 1990s as part of the Young British Artists group.
The Signal
The presentation traces how Emin has used her own life experiences of trauma and recovery as the central mechanism of her art. It places particular emphasis on her ongoing commitment to painting through recent canvases. For curators and collectors the exhibition demonstrates the sustained institutional focus on an artist whose confessional method has maintained broad public resonance since the late 1990s.
