Curated by Arturo Galansino, Director General of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, the exhibition allows to immerse into Emin’s varied work, encompassing paintings, drawings, film, photography, embroidery, appliqué, sculptures, and neons. The titular themes of sex and solitude underpin over 60 works on display, that span from different moments of her career, taking visitors on an intensely personal yet universally resonant journey that reflects deeply on the themes of the body and desire. A number of the works in the exhibition are presented in Italy for the first time, along with new productions, in different media, specifically created for the show.
Renowned for her candid, confessional approach to art, Tracey Emin creates works where personal stories transform into existential metaphors. Through her honest and autobiographical expression, Emin focuses on themes of the body and figuration, situating herself within a distinct lineage in art history, creating a resonance that both contrasts with and converges upon Florence’s Renaissance heritage.
