This etching was executed by Tracey Emin in 2009 and forms part of our Nude Drawings collection. At the centre of a white paper background is a dainty black ink etching of a woman’s torso and pelvis, with the bottom of her legs and head omitted.
Perpetually using her experiences and her body as inspiration, Emin’s work offers viewers a glimpse into how the artist views the world and herself. Like many of her Nude Drawings, the face of the figure is left out of the print, allowing the viewer's attention to rest primarily on the feminine body itself. While Emin only portrays a naked torso and pelvis in this work, the shape created by the subject’s spread legs is typically playful.
Tracey Emin, born in 1963, stands as a fearless provocateur in the contemporary art scene. A trailblazer of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the late 1980s, the artist has sparked conversation and controversy for decades. Confronting themes of love, trauma and femininity with great vulnerability, Emin's work is a visceral tapestry of her life and has forged an intimate dialogue between artist and audience. In 1999, this raw approach to storytelling won her a nomination to the Turner Prize and, in 2007, it got her a coveted spot as a Royal Academician at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA).
