Tracey Emin

Tracey Karima Emin (; born 3 July 1963) is an English artist known for her autobiographical and confessional artwork.

Since the early '90s, Tracey Emin has produced a body of work that encompasses all forms of artistic expression, including painting, print-making, drawing, film, photography, installations, appliqué, sculpture and neon text.

Emin's highly autobiographical nature of her work sets it apart from the general artistic trends of the 1980s and 1990s. Once the "enfant terrible" of the Young British Artists in the 1980s, Tracey Emin is now a Royal Academician.

The artist is well known for her frank, confessional style and for transforming her inner emotional and psychological world-personal experiences, memories and feelings-into art that is both intimate yet profoundly universal. Emin's art has an immediacy and often sexually provocative attitude that firmly locates her oeuvre within the tradition of feminist discourse.

In 2023, Emin was commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery in London to create The Doors (2023), resulting in 45 female portraits cast in bronze that cover the gallery's three new entrance doors.
