In 1999 Tracey Emin was nominated for the Turner Prize. She did not win it with her work My Bed (1998) but was discovered by the collector Charles Saatchi, as well as by a large television audience. Her official national entry for Britain at the Venice Biennale 2007 provided an opportunity to experience her contemporary and older works in juxtaposition and to see behind the haze of glamour and personal tragedy which surrounds the star Tracey Emin.
The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art has compiled the first retrospective of the artist which will be shown at the Museum of Fine Arts Bern as Emin's first solo exhibition in Switzerland.
Locations of the exhibition:
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh (August 2 - November 9, 2008)
CAC Málaga, Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga (November 28, 2008 - February 2, 2009)
