Meaning & Analysis

Anyone familiar with Emin’s body of self-portraits will know that the artist rarely depicts her own face, usually opting to leave the space of her head blank or emotively scrawl over it. In the case of If I Could Just Go Back And Start Again however, Emin pays particular attention to her portrait, crafting her demure gaze and smile from a series of lines.

In a 2009 Guardian newspaper article, Emin selected this work as one of her six favourite drawings. Given her frontal pose and an unprecedented focus on her face, this work emerges as one of Emin’s most self-explorational and confrontational.

  • 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).
