About the Item

Tracey Emin Tate Gallery poster, 2004 Offset lithograph 27 1/2 × 19 1/2 inches unframed This offset lithograph poster was published by the Tate Gallery, and it is based upon an original textile work in their permanent collection. Below is the description of the original work: This is a textile-based work which hangs on the wall. Emin used an old pink wool blanket, cut in two and intersected with a cotton extension in the same shade of pink, as the basis for a landscape of text. The work is dominated by the words, ‘PERMISSION TO FIRE/ ENZINE’ in large black capitals. An English flag incorporating the Union Jack in one corner bisects these words on the upper half of the blanket and trails a section of rope terminating in a metal clip. Individual flowers cut out from floral print fabrics are appliquéd across the flag and the blanket behind. On the left side of the blanket are the words ‘YOU CRUEL HEARTLESS BITCH/ YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF FAITH’ in blue and red felt on sections of pink and blue floral fabric. These are balanced on the right by the words ‘I HATE WOMEN LIKE YOU/ ONE DAY YOU WILL ASK YOURSELF WHAT HAVE I DONE TO [sic] LATE’ in turquoise, mustard and pale pink felt on blue green and orange floral fabrics. Below the flag and the word ‘enzine’, a misspelling of ‘ensign’, are the words ‘GUESS WHAT/ THE WORSE I COULD DO IS BETRAYE [sic]/ ROT IN HELL’ in salmon, fluorescent pink, black and red felt. A small white felt dove accompanies them. These words are all composed of individual letters cut out and individually stitched to the blanket or another fabric appliquéd onto the blanket. Two small sections of plain white fabric contain texts hand-written onto them in the artist’s signature handwriting in pink biro. One poetically describes ‘800 men and boys/ their bodies floating/ like flotsam and /jetsam on the surf/ ice cold black/ waters, an eary [sic] grave,/ of which you invented’. The other accuses a woman of ‘Crimes against Humanity’, addressing her as ‘you, supposed mother – A mother who Reiked [sic] of Power CRAZY Hate and Fear, of all the terrible things that you did, in the name of political conquest’. The text elaborates ‘In 1982, A year so many conscripts did not got home – Because you, you killed them all.’ Along the bottom of the work, run the words ‘THERE’S NO ONE IN THIS ROOM WHO HAS NOT THOUGHT OF KILLING’ in four shades of blue. A small yellow satin label on the bottom right hand corner of the blanket bears the work’s title and date and the artist’s signature in black biro.
