Tracey Emin, one of the so-called 'YBAs' (Young British Artists - Damien Hirst, Richard Billingham, Sarah Lucas, Rachael Whiteread, Gavin Turk, Gillian Wearing, Chris Ofili, Gary Hume, Martin Creed, Mark Wallinger etc.), was born in London in 1963 but brought up in Margate, Kent. Emin completed an MA in painting at the Royal College of Art and her interest in the expressionist works of Munch and Schiele informed the paintings she produced at that time. She subsequently destroyed these works when she suffered what she has described as her 'emotional suicide' following an abortion. Some years later, Emin returned to making art, this time using her personal experience to make highly confessional works. Her first solo exhibition, at White Cube in 1994, was entitled 'My Major Retrospective' and included a display of personal memorabilia and photographs of all her destroyed paintings in a disarmingly frank exploration of her own life. Emin's art is one of disclosure, using her life events in works ranging from story telling, drawing, filmmaking, installation, painting, neon, photography, applique blankets and sculpture. Emin exposes herself, her hopes, humiliations, failures and successes in an incredibly direct manner. Often tragic and frequently humorous, it is as if by telling her story and weaving it into the fiction of her art she somehow transforms it.
