‘Tracey approaches each canvas as a seeker would approach an oracle: not searching for affirmation about known facts but eager to discover hidden truths. A successful painting must reveal itself as a secret that is whispered to her.’
– Harry Weller, 2024
This publication marks Tracey Emin’s ‘Lovers Grave’ (November 2023 – January 2024) – the first solo exhibition held at White Cube New York. Featuring images of Emin’s new series of paintings and works on paper, from which emerge new forms of love and longing, this catalogue provides an in-depth record of a profoundly affecting body of work. A powerfully thoughtful text by Harry Weller, Creative Director of Tracey Emin Studio, invites the reader into Emin’s personal experience which influences the making of the exhibited works. From this first-person perspective, Weller offers an insight into his close relationship with the artist as well as warmly narrating Emin’s embodied process. Designed by long-time collaborators of the artist, the London-based design studio and publisher FUEL, this catalogue shares the intimacies and vulnerabilities that are characteristic of Emin’s emotive and enduring work.
