A major retrospective of Tracey Emin's work, "A Second Life," is on view at Tate Modern in London. The exhibition presents the artist's deeply personal and confessional body of work, including iconic pieces like "My Bed" and "Exorcism of the Last Painting I Ever Made," which chronicle intimate experiences of love, trauma, and self-exploration through text, objects, and raw imagery.
À la Tate Modern, la bouleversante renaissance de Tracey Emin
Tracey Emin has returned to the Tate Modern for a major retrospective titled "A Second Life," marking a poignant milestone in her career. The exhibition features over a hundred works, including the iconic and once-scandalous "My Bed," which first catapulted her to international fame during the 1999 Turner Prize. This survey explores her evolution from the "enfant terrible" of the Young British Artists to a Dame of the British Empire, showcasing her multidisciplinary practice across painting, sculpture, and installation.
Tate Modern has launched "Tracey Emin: A Second Life," the largest survey exhibition of the British artist’s work to date. Spanning 40 years of her career, the show features over 100 works including her iconic 1998 installation "My Bed," early textile pieces, and recent bronze sculptures. The exhibition, supported by Gucci, traces Emin’s journey from the Young British Artists (YBA) era to her contemporary practice, which addresses her recent experiences with cancer and disability.
