One has to respect Emin for not only duping the insufferably pretentious art world with copious attitude in lieu of discernible talent but also for also inveigling cheeky Charlie Saatchi to open his chequebook (more than once) and acquire her various ‘artistic’ endeavours! Incidentally many of these ‘expressive’ pieces were subsequently destroyed in a _warehouse_ fire. Yep, Saatchi valued his Emin purchases for their artistic merit (and definitely not for their supposed monetary value/future investment potential, honest guv) so much that he had many of them crated and stashed in long term storage… It pays to be incorrigibly cynical when it comes to ‘art’. Especially the often meretricious _modern_ variety… 😉
What Tracey has done for the freedom of expression and for the voice of being a woman in Art is undeniable❤
Fab woman and artist
Agreed!
