Tracey Emin, the studio and me: inside the wild, passionate process of the artist at work

Harry Weller, Tracey Emin’s long-time creative director, provides an intimate look into the artist’s studio practice ahead of her major exhibition at Tate Modern. Weller describes a high-intensity environment where Emin works without preparatory sketches, often entering a trance-like state of "primal instinct" to produce her visceral paintings and text-based works. His role involves acting as a creative antagonist, challenging Emin during the painting process to push the boundaries of her work while documenting the spontaneous poetic fragments she produces.

Van Gogh’s ‘triple painting’ revealed by discoveries beneath the surface

Conservators at Rotterdam's Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum have discovered that Vincent van Gogh's painting *Poplars near Nuenen* (1885) conceals two earlier compositions: a moonlit view of a church tower and graveyard from July 1884, and a subsequent reworking in Paris in late 1886 that brightened the autumnal landscape. X-ray imaging revealed the original church scene, which Van Gogh painted over after his father's death. The final version, now restored after four years of conservation, goes on display on 7 February.

Van Gogh in 2025: Record prices, memorable shows and the first Korean acquisition

Acquisitions included "Tarascon Stagecoach" (1888) given to LACMA via the Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation, and "Head of a Peasant" (1885) bought by Korean-born gallery owner Hong Gyu Shin, marking the first known Van Gogh acquisition by a Korean.

Enrico David: ‘It’s as if the objects are there as an avatar for something that has gone’

Italian-born, London-based artist Enrico David is the subject of a major retrospective at the Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea near Turin, titled 'I'm Back Tomorrow.' The exhibition, his largest to date, spans three decades of his work and occupies the museum's 147-meter-long Manica Lunga gallery. David first gained attention in the late 1990s for his large embroideries featuring masked figures, many purchased by collector Charles Saatchi, but later shifted to creating psychologically charged sculptures of mutated humanoid forms. The show is arranged not thematically or chronologically but as a series of 'vertebrae' anchoring the space, with elements evoking trade fairs and commercial design—a language familiar from his father's neon-sign business.
