Tracey Emin, CBE, RA (born 3 July 1963)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Perfect Place to Grow 2001 )〕 is an English artist known for her autobiographical and confessional artwork. Emin produces work in a variety of media including drawing, painting, sculpture, film, photography, neon text and sewn appliqué. Once the ‘enfant terrible’ of the Young British Artists in the 1980s, Tracey Emin is now a Royal Academician of the Royal Academy of Arts. Known for their confrontational subject matter and portrayal of taboo subjects, critics accused the Young British Artists of relying on ‘shock tactics’ rather than artistic talent. In 1997, her work ''Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995'', a tent appliquéd with the names of everyone the artist had ever shared a bed with, was shown at Charles Saatchi's ''Sensation'' exhibition held at the Royal Academy in London. The same year, she gained considerable media exposure when she swore multiple times in an apparent state of drunkenness on a live discussion programme on British television. In 1999, Emin had her first solo exhibition in the United States at Lehmann Maupin Gallery, entitled ''Every Part of Me's Bleeding''. Later that year, she was a Turner Prize nominee and exhibited ''My Bed'' – a readymade installation, consisting of her own unmade dirty bed, in which she had spent several weeks drinking, smoking, eating, sleeping and having sexual intercourse whilst undergoing a period of severe emotional flux. The artwork featured used condoms and blood-stained underwear. Emin is a panelist and speaker: she has lectured at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney (2010), the Royal Academy of Arts (2008), and the Tate Britain in London (2005) about the links between creativity and autobiography, and the role of subjectivity and personal histories in constructing art. Emin's art takes many different forms of expression including needlework and sculpture, drawing, video and installation, photography and painting. In December 2011, she was appointed Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy; with Fiona Rae, she is one of the first two female professors since the Academy was founded in 1768. Emin lives in Spitalfields, East London on Fournier Street in a Georgian Huguenot silk weaver's house which dates from 1726. ==Early life and education== Emin was born in Croydon, at the time a part of Surrey, to an English mother of Romanichal descent. Emin was brought up in Margate. She has a twin brother, Paul. Emin's paternal great-grandfather had been a Sudanese slave in the Ottoman Empire.〔 〕 Through her father, she is of Turkish Cypriot descent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tracey Emin )〕 Emin suffered an unreported rape at age thirteen while living in Margate, citing assaults in the area as "what happened to a lot of girls." 〔"Emin on the Everyday Horror of Teen Rape." Kent and Sussex Courier. N.p., 03 Oct. 2008. Web. 07 Apr. 2015. Emin studied fashion at Medway College of Design (now the University for the Creative Arts) (1980–1982), where she met expelled student Billy Childish and was associated with The Medway Poets. Emin and Childish were a couple until 1987 during which time she was the administrator for his small press Hangman Books which specialized in publishing Childish's confessional poetry. In 1984 she studied printing at Maidstone Art College(now the University for the Creative Arts), which she has described as one of the best experiences of her life. In 1995 she was interviewed in the ''Minky Manky'' show catalogue by Carl Freedman, who asked her, "Which person do you think has had the greatest influence on your life?" She replied, In 1987, Emin moved to London to study at the Royal College of Art, where she obtained an MA in painting. Unaware that she was pregnant with twins, she had both an abortion and a subsequent miscarriage; this experience was so traumatic that Emin destroyed all her work and described the period as “emotional suicide.” Her influences included Edvard Munch and Egon Schiele, and for a time she studied philosophy at Birkbeck, University of London. One of the paintings that survives from her time at Royal College of Art is ''Friendship'' which is in the Royal College of Art Collection. Additionally, a series of photographs from her early work that were not destroyed were displayed as part of My Major Retrospective.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tracey Emin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
