 3am ESSAY: “Going Down” The Art of Tracey Emin
Emin is a diverse artist, experimenting with different and “found” materials, turning her exhibits into theatrical environments, always more interested in tackling the problems of her own life than the more limited problems of formalist art.
Emin has “taken” with the media, becoming an embodiment of this zeitgeist and thus is as qualified to model designer dresses, write candidly of sexual adventure, as to talk about her art.
Emin frequently speaks of her teenage anguish, her art is based on autobiographical musings, the seething longings and dreams of a prisoner in a suburban wasteland.

 Tracey Emin
In particular, her piece My Bed, which was part of the 1999 Turner Prize exhibition, and consisted of her own unmade bed complete with used condoms and blood stained underwear, brought her a great deal of attention from the press.
It was called My Major Retrospective, and was typically autobiographical, consisting of personal photographs, and photos of her now destroyed early paintings as well as items which most artists would not consider showing in public, such as a packet of cigarettes her uncle was holding when decaptiated in a car crash.
It was an obstensibly serious debate show, and Emin was completely drunk (partly as a consequence of the painkillers she was taking for a broken finger), repeatedly saying that she wanted to go home to her mum.
