TRACEY EMIN (TATE ARTISTS SERIES) (HB)

Tracey Emin (b.1963) is one of the most talked about artists in Britain today and one of the most controversial. This introduction to her life and work explores the events and relationships that influenced her art, including her formative years in Margate, her artist peers, and the expressionist painters with whom she has identified across the generations. Bringing together a wide spectrum of her work, this book reveals an artist who confronts the subject of mortality - however wondrous, difficult or shameful - and ultimately celebrates the joy of living.
