Book Description
The most highly publicized of the infamous Young British Artists, Emin has stirred as much controversy as she has acclaim, being both highly personal and extremely original in her art. Emin's work is engaging, titillating, disturbing, and startlingly confessional. One of her most famous pieces is Everyone I Ever Slept With 1963-1995, a tent appliquéd with names. Another notorious work, My Bedâthe scene where she spent four days contemplating suicideâwas exhibited at Tate Britain when the artist was short-listed for the Turner prize in 1999. Though denounced by conservative critics at the outset, Emin's work has attracted serious critical attention for more than a decade. In the words of Art in America, "What brought Emin to prominence was shock value, but what keeps her work powerful as she continues is the strength and nuance of its form and content." Compiled in close collaboration with the artist herselfâand unprecedented in its scopeâthis is the definitive book on Emin, featuring drawings, paintings, sculptures, appliqués and embroideries, neon and video stills as well as her own writing.
Customer Reviews:
An Artist's Artist.......2007-05-16
If we can assume for the moment that one of the most daunting enemies of art is fear, then Tracey Emin is contributing to the art world in ways that are anything but obvious. If art causes one to think, to wonder, and to move the artist's images in and out of one's own life, just to see how it fits, like furniture seeking its rightful position in the room, then the business of art is really all about seeding the imagination. Seeds must be honest, and honest art must be fearless. The art in this book is not always pretty and comfortable, but it is always thoughtful and honest and fearless. In the effort to appreciate art, people have cautioned that one should view the art - not the artist. That isn't possible in the case of Tracey Emin, because the art and the artist are inseparable entities. She is the art, and her honesty shines through like a diamond in a mud pie. I don't know Tracey Emin, but I do know that if I ever met her, I'd never forget her. This book might be most readily appreciated by artists who will not just find inspiration in images that haven't already been thought about as much as the ones thought about but supressed. If you're an artist, I can't promise that you'll feel good about the way Emin approches her art, but I'm reasonably sure that you'll feel good about the way you'll begin to approch yours.
Book Description
From an i-MAC computer to a Karim Rashid trashcan to a Philippe Starck stool to an Issey Miyake coat to a Frank Gehry building, design shapes our sense of being in today's world. Mood River examines the cornucopia of objects that form the complex visual fabric of our lives, titillate our senses, modulate our moods, and pique our desires. By scanning contemporary art and design, and loosely organizing thousands of sundry objects into four categories of moods--Bliss, Ecstasy, Rage, and Trauma--Mood River aims to arouse a deep respect for the complex economic, technical, and aesthetic processes that join the diverse elements of our material life into that most elusive of unities: a world.
Book Description
Generously illustrated, accessible, and affordable, the Modern Artists series is an essential reference for all those interested in contemporary visual culture.
Art star Tracey Emin (b. 1963) first came to public attention in the 1990s with her provocative and confrontational works. After the inclusion of the controversial Everyone I Have Ever Slept With in the Royal Academy's notorious Sensation exhibition and My Bed in the Turner Prize exhibition in 1999, she achieved a level of fame and notoriety unparalleled for an artist in recent times. Emin's use of intensely personal, everyday materials gives her work an intimate quality, combining avant-garde ideas with feminine traditions of craft. This book presents Emin's art in clear, accessible language, with full-color reproductions throughout. It provides a highly informed key to understanding one of the most hotly discussed artists at work today, responsible for some of the most iconic works of recent times.

Book Description
Omnivorous and indefatigable, suggestible but independent, adolescents don't want to be balanced. They love extremes of everything from fashion and art to music and the Internet. Observed and studied by experts of all kinds, their behavior monitored by psychologists, educators, and marketing executives, adolescents represent a decisive and increasingly valuable segment of the buying public. They adore and consume trendy clothes and brand-new bands; they must be cool regardless of the cost. And adults turn to them more and more for clues on how to remain forever young and hip. The Fourth Sex turns a critical, illustrated spotlight on adolescence, a territory of transition crisscrossed by the most varied creative energies. A series of iconographic materials begins in the 1960s and moves up to the present, revealing clothes, behavior patterns, novels, and visual artworks created or inspired by the transnational tribe that are teenagers. Excerpted authors include David Foster Wallace, Arata Isozaki, Philip Roth, William Golding, J.G. Ballard, Beavis & Butthead, Jim Carroll, Stephen King, Vladimir Nabokov, Douglas Coupland, Dick Hebdige, Bret Easton Ellis, and Dave Eggers. Represented artists include Vanessa Beecroft, Raymond Pettibon, Mike Kelley, Elizabeth Peyton, Karen Kilimnik, Charles Ray, Takashi Murakami, Larry Clark, Rineke Dijkstra, Paul McCarthy, Richard Prince, Gilbert & George, Gavin Turk, and Richard Billingham. And modeled fashion and lifestyle designers include Malcolm MacLaren, Paco Rabanne, Benetton, Veronique Branquinho, Comme des Gar ons, Stssy, Coca-Cola, PlayStation, Diesel, Katherine Hamnett, and David Sims. The book's shifting, politically incorrect graphic style gives form and color to all the contradictions and ambiguities of an unhappy age that we never cease to remember with nostalgia and the occasional twinge of pain. Published in association with Fondazione Pitti Immagine Discovery.

Book Description
At least since the biblical Exodus, stories of establishing a home, leaving home either voluntarily or by force, and homecoming have collectively formed one of the great organizing subjects of Western civilization. Away From Home conveys the widespread and continuing import of such themes through provocative and playful projects by mid-career and emerging artists from five continents. Issues of home, travel, exile, nomadism and sense of place are reflected on by Franz Ackermann, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Allora y Calzadilla, Lisa Brice, Raul Cordero, Gregory Green, Lee Mingwei, Jac Leirner, Ken Lum, Marcos Ramirez (ERRE) and Jill Rowinski. Accompanying essays contribute a poignant recollection of an archetypal childhood journey; discuss the exhibition within and against the context of art world internationalism; and interlace wide-ranging comments on travel, home and recent art history with the specifics of Away From Home's artists and artworks.
Book Description
The career of Tracey Emin, one of the best-known contemporary British artists, has become a potent symbol of the relationship between art and celebrity in our time. When it was exhibited in London at the Tate in 1999, her now notorious installation "My Bed" was denounced by conservative critics as a national scandal, but this and her other work have continued to attract ever larger audiences. Whether storming drunkenly out of live television debates, talking tearfully about her abortions, or modeling evening gowns for Vivienne Westwood, Tracey Emin makes headlines.
Yet if Emin is now universally recognized as a media phenomenon, her work has also begun to attract serious critical attention. In The Art of Tracey Emin, distinguished critics from Britain and the United States address her achievement in depth for the first time, tracing Emin's influences from Egon Schiele to Judy Chicago and establishing her place in a larger tradition of postmodern and feminist art. Adopting a variety of critical approaches, contributors explore the full range of Emin's work, from photography and monoprints to installation art and videos, showing that, however raw and personal it may seem to be, it actually represents a carefully meditated response to vital issues in contemporary culture and society. 50 illustrations.

Refreshingly open-minded responses to Tracey Emin's art.......2006-06-27
This collection contains 10 essays on Tracey Emin's art, which are complemented by over 50 black-and-white illustrations of her drawings, blankets, installations and video-work. It culminates in a fifteen-page interview with Emin herself.
Given that Emin's art often seems to provoke snobbish elitism and prejudices in many contemporary art critics - "it's childishly solipsistic", "too hermetically self-absorbed to be a great artist," etc. - it is absolutely refreshing that the critics in this collection approach her work seriously and without pedantry. The collection transcends those tedious "but it is art?" discussions that Guardian critics love to table and elevates debate on the tensions between autobiography and constructionism in her art to a new level. They place Emin's work in an art-historical context, revealing how artists such as Edvard Munch, Egon Schiele, Gerhard Richter and Hannah Wilke have all influenced and informed her work up to now.
The most fascinating essay, I think, is Peter Osborne's analysis of Emin's photographic print "I've got it all, 2000", where Emin is sitting on the floor in a low-cut dress, looking down at the hoard of coins and notes she's holding onto between her bare, parted legs. The print is ambiguous, its title self-consciously ironic - is she stuffing her vagina with money (money as dildo, money as orgasm)? Or is the money penetrating her (money f*$!s with you, money f*$!s you over)? Or is it exuding from her like faeces or a child?
A few critics in the collection might take Emin's work a little too seriously; the best integrate its playful, ironic or humorous elements (Emin talks in the interview, for instance, of a film which she always wanted to make: "I wanted to be walking along a beach and then do a poo and bury it"). Emin seems to like paradoxes and tensions that trouble - "Love Poem, 1996", for example, is an appliqué blanket on which Emin has stitched a poem of hers equating sex with violence ("You put your hand / across my mouth still / the noise continues").
Emin strikes me as a very misunderstood artist, not as wildly controversial as her cultish supporters, and not as uninformed by artistic traditions as her detractors, would have us believe. This collection constitutes a considerable step towards demystifying her art.
Warmly recommended!
A poor introduction, a mediocre supplement, three stars........2005-06-22
Typical deignful art critic mumbo jumbo. Above all else, the colors are black and white, robbing them of one of the most important elements. Sometimes I think they tried really hard, but in the end I believe it is an inferior product given the options you have as a consumer. Buy Tracey's book and then buy this one and let me know what you think.
Bravo.

Book Description
Description: Landscape Confection brings together a group of emerging and mid-career artists involved in expanding the historical practice of landscape painting. Long considered one of the primary categories of Western painting, landscape has traditionally been dialectically structured by the production of either realistic or idealized representations of the natural world. The artists in Landscape Confection work in the realm of imaginary landscape. Many of the paintings derive from the unconscious space of dreams, some borrow from the discipline of topography, and still others reside at the boundary between landscape and abstraction. Most of the pictures have a high degree of whimsy and call to mind the f'tes galantes of Watteau, redolent as they are with bodily and visual pleasure. Artist included in the exhibition and catalogue are Rowena Drig, Pia Fries, Jason Gubbiotti, Jim Hodges, Katie Pratt, Michael Raedecker, Neil Rock, Lisa Sanditz, Amy Sillman, and Janaina Tschape.

Landscape Confection

The exhibition presents 50 works by 13 emerging and mid-career artists from around the globe, all-working in the genre of landscape art in surprising ways. Embracing the idea of the decorative, their influences range from naturalist illustrations to impressionism to wallpaper patterns.

Book Description
We all remember our experiences with finger painting as children- the delight in sanctioned messiness, the swirls of color on our paper, maybe having the result taped to the classroom wall or stuck on the refrigerator at home. With many artists, the childish preoccupation with smearing continues as a sensual play with pigment and its tactile quality. The provocatively titled Ca-ca poo-poo endeavors to trace this phenomenon with works by a variety of artists including Tracey Emin, Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Tony Tasset, and others.
