Tracey Emin: Works 1963-2006 by Carl Freedman & Honey Luard (Book)

About the Item

The extensive text is based on a long friendship and hundreds of hours of discussion between Emin and Carl Freedman, himself a renowned gallerist and art publisher. This book covers her work in all media: drawing, sculpture, film, photography, and writing. David Bowie called Emin while critics describe her art as full of passion, striving, and liveliness. Tracey Emin produces what can best be described as autobiographical art. Her works have included the famous embroidered tent Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963-95 (1995), the book about her childhood Exploration of the Soul (1994), the Tracey Emin Museum in a shop in London (1995-98), and her bed, My Bed (1998) at the Tate. Saatchi's 1997 exhibition Sensation at the Royal Academy of Arts (and later to the Hamburger Banhof in Berlin and the Brooklyn Museum of Art) cemented her reputation. The show attracted some high profile criticism but audiences remain fascinated by the raw openness of her work. Though she didn't win the 1999 Turner Prize, critics noted that the public visiting the Tate's exhibition were much more visibly engaged by Emin's work than that of the other Turner Prize nominees. In her multimedia work she uses sewing, neons, videos, Super-8 films, photographs, watercolours, and is also a compulsive writer. Emin's art is highly confessional, for she makes her life known as well as her beliefs and her feelings. Her life and art are inextricably entwined. Her work is a controlled exhibition of the self: often tragic, sometimes funny. 141 pages. 2860 grams.

  • Mediterranean Design Book by Mary Whitesides 1st Edition, 2006
    Located in North Hollywood, CA
    Mediterranean Design hardcover – August 17, 2006. by Mary Whitesides (Author). Title: Mediterranean Design Publisher: brand: Gibbs Smith Publication date: 2006 Binding: Hardcover Great hardcover coffee table book. Mediterranean Design reveals the vibrant color, outdoor-living emphasis, and diverse cultural influences that have created this unique style. Defined by an eclectic mix of natural elements: sunlight bouncing across textured walls, rooms arranged around porch-lined courtyards, terra-cotta tile roofs covering wood-beam ceilings, arched passages and porticos, vibrantly colored interiors, and courtyards and fountains that take advantage of the temperate climate. Mediterranean Design brings home the romantic and worldly appeal of a style that finds its heritage in the diverse lands of Morocco, Spain, Greece, Turkey, France, and Croatia. Mediterranean Design highlights the unique aspects of the style, such as spatial orientation of the rooms is defining and private vestibules and porches rather than hallways connecting functional spaces, bedrooms as suites rather than lonely rooms, bathrooms as spas rather than generic or merely functional rooms. Details such as arches, pillars, high ceilings, fountains, gardens, pergolas, lime-washed walls, stone façades...
