ARTIST STORY
Tracey Emin lives and works in East London and Margate, UK, and is known for her autobiographical and confessionary artwork.

Emin’s artwork is held in some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, including the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, and the Goetz Collection in Munich.
We love how Emin never shies away from using her own often tragic stories in her own artwork, using the act of creating art as a form of therapy. We particularly appreciate the openness of her exploration of her personal history and how it's distilled into her creative process.
