"Tracey Emin's brilliant, searing autobiography takes us from the beginnings of her wild, messy and often terrifying childhood in Margate, through her travels to sun-drenched Turkey and Cyprus tracing her paternal heritage, to some of the worst moments of her life, with painful honesty."
"Sadly not in print any more but if you can find it, it's invaluable. It is interspersed with conversations between Emin and her long-term friend, the gallerist Carl Freedman. The interviews hold all the questions that you could want to ask Emin-about how she approaches art-making, the importance of painting, her reflections on sex and passion."
"This is a beautiful publication bound in Emin's trademark crimson. Brilliantly illustrated, the book includes an essay by Jennifer Higgie who writes so feelingly about the emotional charge of Emin's painting, her favourite medium."
Tracey Emin's exhibition at Tate Modern, titled Second Life, showcases her artistic evolution following a bladder cancer diagnosis in 2020. Emin expresses that her life has become significantly better and more fulfilling since her diagnosis. The exhibition features key books about her life and work, including her autobiography Strangeland, which candidly recounts her tumultuous childhood and experiences. Other notable works include a collection of her paintings and conversations with her friend Carl Freedman, providing insights into her artistic process and emotional depth.
