With the support of Thanet District Council, we commissioned Tracey Emin to make a work for Margate.
I Never Stopped Loving You is a pink neon text for the façade of our exhibition space at Droit House, one of the most distinctive buildings on Margate seafront.
In effect a love letter to Emin's home town, the pink neon sculpture will remain in situ until the opening of the new gallery, contributing an important part of the countdown to this remarkable event.
Born in Margate, Emin still has a strong connection to the town. She commented:
"It's a declaration of love for Margate from me, but also what I want in the summer – why go to Brighton for a dirty weekend – come to Margate. I want people to come off the train, I want them to walk along the seafront, I want them to hold hands and to have a snog and say 'I never stopped loving you'."
