Tracey Emin CBE, one of Britain’s most highly acclaimed contemporary artists, is famed for her<br />

often controversial artworks. She explores a feminist discourse, sometimes using conventional<br />

handicraft techniques for radical intent. For example in Everyone I’ve Ever Slept With 1963 -<br />

1995 she used appliqué to list her lovers, friends and family in a small tent.<br />

Her work is deeply personal and often explores uncomfortable and thought-provoking issues.<br />

She produces monoprints, paintings and drawings and has exhibited all over the world -<br />

including a major solo exhibition Love Is What You Want at the Hayward Gallery, London,<br />

in 2011.<br />

Tracey Emin: Angel Without You, the first exhibition ever to focus solely on Emin’s use of neon<br />

ended a few days ago. It was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, and was<br />

the first American museum to dedicate an exhibition to Emin.<br />

£25,000 - £30,000<br />

Donated by: Tracey Emin CBE<br />
