THE BEGINNING OF ME ( 2012 ) ..... Edition 34 of ONLY 175 .........Signed, numbered and dated by the artist......TRACEY EMIN.......Always at the centre of her own world, Tracey Emin uses all aspects of her life in her art, turning intimate autobiography into broader statements about sex, love, death, freedom and everyday life............ Her work has taken the form of diaristic drawings, paintings, films, sculptures and written stories, all of which convey the same combination of frustration, pain, compassion and wit............ Drawing and printmaking have remained key mediums for Emin, and over the last ten years she has produced a steady output of monotype prints direct from her drawings............Taken from a series of drawings made in 2006......." THE BEGINNING OF ME " ......is a particularly frank self portrait of the artist. Emin has described herself as being 'slightly embarrassed by its openness, almost like an invitation'.......... But this self-consciousness is alleviated by distance she feels from the figure here of a much younger persona, one imagined she says 'from a long time ago, a time when I felt very different. A time when sex was all important and primal'.............. ............This limited edition screen print has been released to coincide with Emin's first foray into the South American continent where there will be two major presentations of her work: just opened in Buenos Aires at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano is a show dedicated to her film works, and she will have the inaugural exhibition at the White Cube's new Sao Paulo space, which opened in December 2012......."

Tracey Emin RA

Born in Croydon in 1963 and brought up in Margate, Emin was part of the group known as the YBAs (Young British Artists) and is one of the most acclaimed and successful British contemporary artists.

In 1997, her work ‘Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995’, a tent appliquéd with names, was shown at Charles Saatchi's 'Sensation' exhibition held at the Royal Academy in London. The same year, she gained considerable media exposure and became a household name when she appeared drunk and swearing on a live Channel 4 TV discussion. In 1999, she was shortlisted for the Turner Prize and exhibited the infamous ‘My Bed’, an installation, consisting of her own unmade dirty bed with used condoms and blood-stained underwear.

Emin's art is often seen as highly confessional and takes many different forms of expression including needlework and sculpture, drawing, mono printing, video and installation, photography and painting. A willingness to show details of what would generally be thought of as her private life has become one of Emin's trademarks.

Emin herself described the drawings saying they "could be considered quite scrappy, fresh, kind of naive looking drawings" and "It's pretty difficult for me to do drawings not about me and about someone else. But I have did have a lot of ideas. They're quite sentimental I think and there's nothing cynical about it whatsoever."

In 2007, Emin was chosen to join the Royal Academy of Arts in London as a Royal Academician. She represented Britain at the 2007 Venice Biennale. Tracey opened the Turner Contemporary art gallery in Margate in April 2011. She has been a major supporter of the project from its inception and it has been suggested she will exhibit there in the future. In May 2011, Emin's largest major solo exhibition in a public space was held at London’s Hayward Gallery, London titled ‘Love Is What You Want’. The exhibition consisted of work from all aspects of Emin’s art practice........

........ On the 14th December 2011 Tracey Emin says she is "thrilled" after being appointed Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy.......
