In Conversation: Tracey Emin

Twenty-five years after making My Bed, an incredibly candid and famous art piece, we talked to Dame Tracey Emin about how art transformed her life and the legacy she hopes to leave behind.

From building herself a reputation as a rebellious star in the 1990s to being made a dame by King Charles in 2024, Tracey Emin is an icon in the contemporary art world. With a career spanning over three decades, her pieces tackle issues of sex, pain and the female experience in a deliberately confessional way.

But Emin's life hasn't always been filled with awards and royal recognition. Over the past few years, she has survived an aggressive cancer, opened an art school and produced paintings and sculptures with renewed intensity.

Twenty-five years after her famous installation My Bed was nominated for a Turner Prize and first exhibited in London, the artist sat down with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 100 Women to talk about the person behind the artwork and the legacy she hopes to leave behind.
