Tracey Emin: I Loved You Until The Morning

A fresh take on one of contemporary art’s most renowned figures Tracey Emin (b. 1963) is widely known for dynamic and autobiographical works that reflect grief, hope, loss, and love. For more than three decades, her art has challenged stereotypes about female experience and sexuality. Rising up with a cohort dubbed the Young British Artists (YBAs), Emin made her mark in London with sculptural installations that became icons of the 1990s. She went on to explore an exceptional range of media, becoming famous for her neon and textile works. Yet Emin has long thought of painting as central to her artistic practice and since the early 2000s has intensified her focus on the medium in large-scale figurative works rooted in emotion and bodily experience. Published to accompany Emin’s first major exhibition in North America, this generously illustrated volume features an exclusive interview with the artist, places her work in its art-historical context, and opens new avenues for approaching her painting and closely related drawing practice. Published by the Yale Center for British Art/Distributed by Yale University Press Exhibition Schedule: Yale Center for British Art(March 29–August 10, 2025) Read more
