"My bed", le lit controversé de Tracey Emin vendu pour 2,8 ... from o.aolcdn.com
It consisted of her bed with bedroom objects in an abject state, and gained much media attention. When emin finally left her sheets, she examined the mess she'd created. She grew up in margate, on the coast of kent, with her twin brother paul.
Tracey emin's controversial artwork my bed is to return to the tate after selling for £2.2m earlier this month.
In 1999, emin's bed, now titled my bed, was displayed at the tate, one of england's most prestigious venues for contemporary art. In 2017, the turner contemporary margate exhibited it alongside seascapes by jmw turner. As to tracey emin's ruminations on the nature of the self, the crucial thing to notice about my bed is that emin is not in the bed. Tracey emin's iconic and controversial installation my bed on display at turner contemporary, margate, alongside a collection of jmw turner's seascapes and stormy skies, loaned from tate's collection and chosen by the artist.
