Good book for Tracey Emin fans - Rated
This is a good book to get an insight into Emin's work. There are lots of colour images as well as interesting interviews with the artist.
I'd recommend this to people who like Emin and her work.
Tracey's truth - Rated
This is book finally puts Tracey Emin's thoughtful, heartfelt work into perspective, with some great reproductions of her ground breaking pieces, listing all her influences, bar none. And if certain people have been removed from Tracey's biography, then that's because they deserve to be! Wanna-be-artist and poets (as mentioned by another reviewer) are hardly relevant when discussing the work of a true genius. A great book for all of us who are interested in Tracey's truth.
"A big influence, a major influence." - Rated
This book is very interesting and covers many of Tracey's influences that have shaped her work but manages to leave out the biggist of them all: Billy Childish, who was Tracey's boyfriend in the early 1980's, Emin even working for his small press Hangman Books. Why he is left out is even more odd as the author, Neal Brown, actually interviewed Tracey himself in 1997, asking
"How important an influence was the poet Billy Childish on you?"
"A big influence, a major influence."
"Personality or craft?"
"When I first met Billy at 17 I was so nihilistic . . . Billy was the first person I'd met in my life who was doing what they wanted to do . . ."
So the 'major influence' is left out of the book?
I actually like Tracey Emin's work but find this re-writing of history to be quite disturbing when the book is published by a state funded press.
PS. The interview is still available on line.
