NOTES:

Born in London, in 1963, Tracey Emin is known for her provocative and deeply personal works that explore themes of love, loss, grief, and the complexities of human relationships overall. Her art, characterized by its intimate, confessional nature, often confronts personal experiences of trauma, sexuality, and relationships. Her work spans a wide range of mediums including neon, embroidery, drawing, and installation and is widely recognized for its raw emotional intensity and the use of autobiographical elements. A significant aspect of her practice is the exploration of themes like vulnerability, loss and the complexities of the human condition, as seen in works such as My Bed and The Tent, where she openly addresses her personal struggles and relationships.
