Tracey Emin - queen of the YBA movement and among the most celebrated living English artists - edits an anthology of pieces written for The Independent newspaper in London, a weekly column she wrote for nearly three years between 2005 and 2008. Touching on everything from the themes behind her work to her process, her inspirations, and her frequently humorous observations of daily life, Emin's columns made a giant of the art world familiar and accessible to a wide and affectionate readership and succeeded in bringing together elements of essay and diary that together present a unique perspective on life and art, as much a portrait of the artist herself. Illustrated with sixty reproductions of photographs and works referenced in the columns, chosen to reflect the chronology of the anthology, the book is printed in black and white throughout to recall the original format of the columns. Published to coincide with a major retrospective in London.
