A striking polymer gravure executed in green-black ink depicting Emin seated nude, looking centre at the audience. What makes this print particularly interesting is Emin’s use of removing any detail of the face and head by covering it with black ink to anonymise her. By doing this, she allows the viewer to solely focus on her body, to vulnerably document the natural changes it has made as she grew older.
 
Tracey Emin (born 1963) is best known for her intimate, authentic, autobiographical style exploring all elements of life. Emin puts herself into her artwork and gives a glimpse into how she views herself and her world, and her experiences and emotions - often difficult or expressive topics that viewers can relate to. Her work ranges from neon to drawing, painting, printmaking, sewing, photography and sculpture and has been exhibited extensively internationally. Tracey has been widely recognised for her work including being nominated for the Turner Prize, appointed a Royal Academician and a Professor of Drawing at the RA, appointed CBE and she represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2007.
