Tracey Emin has transformed from an unknown artist to the 'bad girl of the Young British Art (YBA) movement, challenging the art establishment and receiving more acclaim than controversy. This book explores her intersectional identity, early years as an artist, and debates issues of autobiography, self-presentation, and performativity, with discussions of key works and accessible theorization of her creative practice.

Tracey Emin has undergone an extraordinary transformation, transitioning from a young, unknown artist to the forefront of the Young British Art (YBA) movement. Her bold and controversial approach to art has challenged the status quo, both in her work and her personal life. Today, Emin is widely regarded as the doyenne of the British art scene, garnering immense acclaim and attention. While her work is widely recognized, it often lacks the critical recognition it truly deserves.
In Tracey Emin: Art into Life, a comprehensive collection of essays by writers from diverse art historical, artistic, and curatorial backgrounds, the intricate relationship between Emin's art, life, and celebrity status is explored. This innovative volume delves into Emin's multifaceted identity, encompassing her Turkish-Cypriot heritage, experiences of aging, and exploration of sexuality. It reflects on her early artistic journey and engages in lively debates about autobiography, self-presentation, and performativity, alongside the multi-media exchanges inherent in her work. The book also examines the tensions between art and craft, highlighting the central themes that permeate Emin's artistic practice.
Through its discussions of Emin's art, attention to key works such as My Bed, and accessible theorization of her creative process, Tracey Emin: Art into Life appeals to a broad readership. It serves as a valuable resource for art enthusiasts, students, and scholars alike, providing a deeper understanding of this influential artist's life and work.
