This landmark exhibition traces 40 years of Emin’s groundbreaking practice, showcasing career-defining sensations alongside works never exhibited before. Through painting, video, textiles, neons, writing, sculpture, and installation, Emin continues to challenge boundaries, using the female body as a powerful tool to explore passion, pain, and healing.
Dame Tracey Emin is one of the most important contemporary artists of her generation. She was catapulted into the public eye in the 1990s with iconic works like her Turner Prize nominated My Bed, which sparked fierce critical and public debate, challenging what art could be. Emin’s disregard for any separation of the personal and the public, along with her commitment to unapologetic self-expression, came to define a historic moment in British culture and global art history.
Broadening Emin’s story, this exhibition celebrates her raw and confessional approach as she poses profound questions on love, trauma, and autobiography. It also demonstrates her lifelong commitment to painting, showing her recent work as the culmination of the ways she has channelled her life into her art.
Tracey Emin is presented in the Eyal Ofer Galleries. In partnership with Gucci. With additional support from the Tracey Emin Exhibition Supporters Circle and Tate Members.
Tracey Emin is a British artist whose raw, confessional works include installation, painting, sculpture, video, drawing and neons. Drawing on her own life for material, she was part of the 1990s cohort of Young British Artists (YBAs) and has used her fame to create legacy projects supporting upcoming artists in her hometown of Margate.




Tate Modern is one of the world’s most iconic museums of modern and contemporary art, located on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. Occupying the former Bankside Power Station, the museum’s dramatic industrial architecture—most notably its cavernous Turbine Hall—has made it a destination for art lovers and architectural enthusiasts alike.
