A Second Life

The exhibition  at the Tate Modern showcases 40 years of work of one of the most famous artists of our time – Dame Tracey Emin. I feel it is worth a look at. 

Emin was thrown into the public eye in the 1990’s with her Tuner Prize nominated ‘ My Bed ‘ which fuelled the debate over what art could be. Her  merging of the public and private,  and her raw self – expression in the work was ground-breaking in British art. 

At the gallery, you can see  her career-defining art alongside works never seen before. Her paintings, videos, textiles, writings and installations are challenging to the boundaries of the art world, and her use of the female body to express human emotions is impressive. 

Pop along to the exhibition and let me know what you think. It is on display until 31 August 2026. Please leave a comment below.
