A powerful UV pigment print created to celebrate Emin’s major retrospective at Tate Modern: A Second Life. Emin is depicted in her bedroom, lying in bed beside her cat. The bed has long been one of Emin’s most recognisable motifs, serving as a deeply personal space that symbolises intimacy, vulnerability and reflection. Accompanied by one of her cherished companions, the work transforms an everyday domestic scene for Emin into a tender autobiographical portrait of vulnerability and comfort.
 
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.
