Entrance to Tracey Emin's exhibition, 'Love is What You Want' at the Hayward Gallery, Southbank, London, May to August, 2011


Entrance to Tracey Emin's exhibition, 'Love is What You Want' at the Hayward Gallery, Southbank, London, May to August, 2011, featuring her painting, drawing, photography, textiles, video and sculpture. Tracey Emin is one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary artists. Born in Margate, she rose to fame via the early 1990s Young British Artists (YBA) movement, 1997's large 'Sensation' exhibition ay the Royal Academy and 1998's controversial 'My Bed'. Emin has used her own life as the starting point for much of her art - her work is often seen as confrontational, sexually provocative, feminist and frank but also playful, tender and ironic. 'Love is What You Want' is part of the Southbank Centre's 60th anniversary celebration of the 1951 Festival of Britain.
