	Tracey Emin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emin's father was married to a woman other than her mother and while still young he abandoned the family which lead to a decline in their standard of living, an event which has featured in a number of works.
		Although these early events caused Emin to be well known in art circles, she was largely unknown by the public until she appeared on a Channel 4 television program in 1997.
		Emin refused and demanded the return of the tapestry even though her authorship of the piece was disputed.

	Artist as Victim, Artist as Celebrity: Interrogating the Work of Tracey Emin and Sue Williams
		Emin was born in London in 1963 and spent her childhood in Margate, a seaside town that she revisits often in her art.
		Emin's piece was an appliquéd tent and mattress on which she embroidered the names of every person she had slept with, including her aborted twins, her lovers, her mother and her brother.
		Emin particularly incurred the rage of critics and was accused of being "crude, primitive, uninteresting, ill-informed, [and] objectionable." Reactions to Emin are usually knee-jerk and always strong.

		In a fecious row that has seen the two fling increasingly wild accusations and bitter denials, a climax was reached last night when Emin announced her intention to sue Hensher for defamation of character and threatened to take out an injunction preventing him approaching her.
		Emin, he wrote, was a half-witted dullard with no inquiring intelligence.

	John Beagles essay on Tracy Emin. Published in Variant 1998. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The truth of Emin's narratives, their authenticity does not just explode supernova like from within; such a perception of the sovereign autonomy of the self smothers any of the conflicts, paradoxes and pressures that she finds herself in, making the kind of work she does, in a particular artistic, cultural and social space.
		While the "in yer face" personae of Tracy Emin represents for many the good old fashioned, straight up and down, uncomplicated pleasures of expressionist fervour, she also has become the embodiment of a new culture of meritocracy, increasingly obsessed with the cult of survivors.
		In making a fetish of Tracy Emin as an ex victim, there is the real danger of forgetting and punishing the failure of those unable to pull themselves together, for whom "the natural fact is they can't pay their taxes".

		This is crucial in describing Emin's work because she is unconcerned with anything other than a celebration of her own twisted problems and meager thoughts, as if her own self existed independently of anything that has happened before.
		Although one Emin bio was kind enough to list Egon Schiele and Edvard Munsch as influences, there is nothing of them in her work; there is just Emin and her love-hate affair with herself.
		Emin, if she is tuned in to anything, should know that "My Bed" is nothing more than the supreme ready-made.

		Emin's first move into the public eye was opening a shop in London's Bethnal Green called, er, The Shop, with fellow artist Sarah Lucas.
		Emin was the inspiration - if that's the right word - for a latter day art movement called Stuckism, which is devoted to advancing the cause of painting as the most vital means of addressing contemporary issues.
		A very inebriated Emin mumbled incoherently that "no real people" would be watching and that she wanted to go be with her mum and friends.

		Emin emphasizes not her naked flesh, like John Coplans, but the props.

		Tracy Emin's art appears as a tautology: her art is her life, her history, and vice versa.
		In 1994 Emin had her first solo show at White Cube, London, entitled 'My Major Retrospective', where she exhibited her diaries, letters and memorabilia, as well as miniature photographs of her old paintings from college.
		This exhibition inaugurated Emin's art of confession as catharsis, with her charismatic narratives of pain, love, abuse and survival, subsequently evidenced in her birth-to-adolescence book Exploration of the Soul.

		Hensher's suspicion, quickly aired, was that Emin had 'responded' by sending him a bunch of unwanted mail, 'ranging from incontinence pads to china figurines of Peter Rabbit,' according to a report on the fracas in The Observer.
		Emin wasted no time in saying she had done no such thing, and then threatened to sue Hensher for the very implication, and for calling her a homophobe, which he denies doing.

		Obvious but true, there is both artistry and craft in her editing style, linking the natural beauty of the sea and the sunsets with Margate's more man-made pleasures, and underscoring them with a great selection of songs.
		Tracy Emin may benefit from making more films before gaining some control of the medium.
		Top Spot is probably best suited to a gallery within the context of Emin's larger body of work (of which I am not acquainted), and not seen as a standalone work of film-art.

		In the detritus beside the bed, and in the smaller installations in New York are pointers to and reminders of earlier feminist interventions.
		Emin’s reputation as the most notorious of British art’s bad girls was fuelled by the associations of My Bed with an aesthetics of dirt.
		Contemporary criticism which explains Emin’s art as an expressive conduit for her emotions or as artful stage-management effects particular kinds of closures.

		In her first solo exhibition in a public gallery in Britain since 1997, Tracey Emin explores a world in which memories merge with the present and future.
		For Emin, her life and her art are her family history, her sexual experiences, her desires and her fears, expressed with compelling frankness.
		Imbued with a sense of the intimate and the hand-made, Emin draws on a wide range of media, from etching and applique to film, neon and sculpture.

		Despite my satisfaction at Roger Scruton's inability to disguise his misogynist contempt for the worthless piece of seaside flotsam he took Tracy Emin to be, it was impossible to suppress the thought that she had been set up.
		As the noble savage from the exotic hinterland of Margate, Emin is attractive to those who find themselves simultaneously emotionally neutered, consumed with a voyeuristic appetite for a bit of 'rough' and harboring a romantic belief in the naturalness and truth of the "ordinary people".
		While the "in yer face" persona of Tracy Emin represents for many the good old fashioned, straight up and down, uncomplicated pleasures of expressionist fervor, she also has become the embodiment of a new culture of meritocracy, increasingly obsessed with the cult of survivors.

	Tracy Emin on Frost
		Tracy Emin's ridiculous outburst on BBC's Breakfast with Frost today confirms what we already know: She is an arrogant pathetic piece of crap.
		I laughed at hers and the other so called 'art' getting burnt down because it teaches a much needed lesson to these pathetic twats who call themselves artists that their 'work' is complete rubbish and an insult.
		The fire _was_ extremely funny and Emin's arrogance that it is part of British culture that was lost is just incredible.

		Tracey Emin, the well-known modern artist who should have won the 1999 Turner Prize, but didn't, produces autobiographical art -- art which is about herself.
		Well, Emin's controlled exhibition of self clearly has something in common with all those websites which people make about themselves [this one is not excluded from this point].
		She would just launch into talking about herself in a way that would have been quite strange if it was anyone else, and actually was quite strange when she did it, but she did it so often it began to seem normal.

		Tracy's a strong woman to be able to face and open her self up to this to the world.
		Tracy Emin isnt afraid, and thats what i think is fantastic.she doesnt care what people might think, she just does it.the reaction to it being "sick" or "terrible" is that people dont want to think about what she's putting forward: that things like what has happened to her DO happen.
		i've only just found tracy emin but the little i have read and seen has conveyed a strong woman with the ability to cope, with what ever shit, life throws her way!everyone is fucked up in their own way, most bottle it up and become more fucked up.

	Tate \| News
		Tracey Emin's is a confessional art, manifested in a rich variety of media and unprecedented in its frankness and the unsparing nature of her self examination.
		Often misunderstood, it is a small tent embroidered on the inside with the names of everyone Emin had literally slept with, including her twin brother in the womb, parents and comatose friends, as well as lovers.
		One of the most admired aspects of Emin's practice has always been her drawing, her spare nervous line and her anguished, erotic imagery both having echoes of Egon Schiele and Edvard Munch, two of the artists she most admires.
