Tracey Emin emerged in the 1990s with autobiographical works using text, appliqué, found objects, neon and installation. My Bed and Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995 made private life, sexuality, shame and memory into public material. Her later practice has increasingly centered on drawing, painting and bronze.
