Art into Life

This fascinating book looks at the art of Britain's most famous contemporary artist, Tracey Emin. Writers from a range of art historical, artistic and curatorial perspectives examine how her work, life and celebrity status have become inextricably intertwined. They explore Emin's intersectional identity (including her Turkish-Cypriot heritage, ageing and sexuality), reflect on her early years as an artist, pay attention to key works such as My Bed, highlight the tensions between Emin's art and craft, and provide an eminently readable theorization of her distinctive creative practice. Tracey Emin: Art into Life will be of interest to a broad readership.
