Tracey Emin Paintings

Tracey Emin Paintings by Jennifer Higgie and David Dawson provides a captivating exploration of the renowned artist, Tracey Emin CBE. Emin is celebrated for her frank, confessional style, transforming her inner world into intimate works of art. As one of the most celebrated artists globally and a notable figure in the Art establishment, her influence is undeniable.

Emin's diverse practice spans painting, drawing, film, photography, sewn applique, sculpture, and neon. However, her recent focus has shifted predominantly to painting.

They offer a deeply personal yet universal commentary, which earns her reverence worldwide and solidifies her status as an international icon.

This book features more than 300 images showcasing Emin's gestural and expressive figurative paintings, from the 1990s to the present. It includes a conversation with her close friend David Dawson and an essay by Australian writer Jennifer Higgie. Developed in close collaboration with the artist, this publication is the first to be exclusively dedicated to Emin's emotive paintings, providing an unparalleled showcase of her soulful work.
