This landmark exhibition traces 40 years of Tracey Emin’s groundbreaking practice, presenting career-defining works alongside pieces never exhibited before. Across painting, video, textiles, neons, writing, sculpture, and installation, Emin continues to challenge artistic boundaries, using the female body as a powerful means to explore passion, pain, and healing.

Dame Tracey Emin is one of the most influential contemporary artists of her generation. She rose to international prominence in the 1990s with iconic works such as her Turner Prize–nominated My Bed, which sparked intense critical and public debate and redefined the possibilities of contemporary art. Emin’s fearless merging of the personal and the public, and her commitment to unapologetic self-expression, marked a historic moment in British culture and global art history.

Expanding on Emin’s story, the exhibition highlights her raw and confessional approach, posing profound questions on love, trauma, and autobiography. It also underscores her lifelong engagement with painting, presenting her recent work as the culmination of a career dedicated to channeling life directly into art.
