Tracey Emin

An illustrated anthology of the artist’s popular, personal, and long-running columns for The Independent. Collected here for the first time is an anthology of pieces artist Tracey Emin wrote for The Independent newspaper in London-a weekly column that ran to great acclaim between 2005 and 2009-that touch on everything from the themes behind her work to her process, inspirations, and her alternately humorous and profound observations of daily life. Moving from diatribes on contemporary art and culture to confessional pieces chronicling her travels abroad and reflecting on her private life in London, the columns bring together elements of essay and diary that present a unique perspective on life and the work of the queen of the Young British Artists.
Edited and introduced by the artist, and illustrated with forty reproductions of photographs that recall the original format of the columns, Tracey Emin: My Life in a Column makes a giant of the art world at once more familiar and more profound.???

Tracey Emin has exhibited extensively internationally including solo and group exhibitions in Holland, Germany, Japan, Australia, and the United States. In 2007, Emin represented Britain at the 52nd Venice Biennale, was made a Royal Academician, and was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Royal College of Art, London
