Tracey Emin
Tracey Emin was born in 1963 to an English mother and a Turkish father, and grew up in Margate. She left school at 15, but later studied Fine Art at Maidstone College and went on to the Royal College of Art. She is now an internationally renowned artist whose work has been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the world. Several of her pieces, including ‘Everyone I Have Ever Slept With’, were featured in the 1997 ‘Sensation’ exhibition at the Royal Academy, and in 1999 her work ‘My Bed’ was shortlisted for the Turner Prize. STRANGELAND is the first, full-length publication of her writing, which draws together new and revised work from the past 25 years.
