Emin’s raw emotions are evident throughout her artworks, and yet she somehow straddles both intimacy and universality in her art. Emin is deeply inspired by expressionist painters Edvard Munch and Egon Schiele, and in 2021 she selected artworks by Munch to show alongside her own in an exhibition at the Royal Academy. Packing an emotional punch, Emin uses her platform to draw attention to the female voice and the power of femininity. Through her mastering of a wide variety of mediums, and her brave tackling of important public and personal issues, Emin has solidified her place in contemporary art history. Emin has gone from being deemed the most ‘’controversial’’ member of the YBA’s, and an ‘’enfant terrible’’, to one of the first female Royal Academicians. She was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1999, and in 2013 was awarded a CBE (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire). 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. Emin’s raw emotions are evident throughout her artworks, and yet she somehow straddles both intimacy and universality in her art.

It is the most recent loving and benevolent statement delivered via the medium of art to come from the controversial artist. In 2012 Emin designed one of the official posters for the London Olympic games alongside other artists including Martin ...
