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.
This landmark retrospective is significant as it solidifies Emin’s legacy as one of the most influential figures in contemporary British art. By showcasing previously unseen textile works alongside her recent explorations of the body and trauma, the exhibition offers a comprehensive look at how her deeply autobiographical style has evolved over four decades. It also highlights Tate Modern’s continued commitment to hosting major career surveys for era-defining artists.
