My life in a column

An anthology of pieces artist Tracey Emin wrote for The Independent newspaper in London, a weekly column that ran between 2005 and 2009, that touch on everything from the themes behind her work to her process, inspirations, and her alternately humorous and profound observations of daily life. Moving from diatribes on contemporary art and culture to confessional pieces chronicling her travels abroad and reflecting on her private life in London, the columns bring together elements of essay and diary that present a unique perspective on life and the work of the queen of the young British artists.
