Tate Modern stages the largest-ever survey exhibition celebrating the groundbreaking work of world-renowned artist Dame Tracey Emin (b. 1963, London, UK). Emin's commitment to unapologetic self-expression has transformed our understanding of what art can be and continues to influence contemporary art today, using the female body to explore passion, pain, and healing. Spanning her extraordinary 40-year practice—from seminal installations created in the 1990s to recent paintings and bronzes shown for the first time—A Second Life marks the most significant exhibition of Emin's career. It traces the key life events that have shaped her journey and transformation. Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition brings together over 90 works encompassing painting, video, textile, neon, sculpture, and installation, demonstrating her uncompromising confessional approach to sharing experiences of love, trauma, and personal growth. Curated by Maria Balshaw, Director, Tate; Alvin Li, Curator, International Art, Tate Modern, supported by Asymmetry Art; and Jess Baxter, Assistant Curator, International Art, Tate Modern. The exhibition is in partnership with Gucci, with additional support from the Tracey Emin Exhibition Supporters Circle and Tate Members |
