Tracey Emin

Biography

Tracey Emin lives and works in London. She has exhibited extensively worldwide and Lehmann Maupin Gallery was the first to show her work in New York. After her exhibition Every Part of Me's Bleeding in 1999 she was short-listed for the Turner Prize. In addition to a retrospective of her work at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 2002, other solo exhibitions have been held at the Haus der Kunst, Munich; Museum of Modern Art, Oxford; and The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Her work is a part of numerous public and private collections including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, among others. Tate Britain recently opened a room in their collection devoted entirely to Emin's work. The British Council selected Tracey Emin to represent Britain at the 52nd Venice Biennale where she created an entirely new body of work.
