I love Tracey Emin.
I remember seeing her work in the Tate Modern when I was little and not really understanding it. Only later when I was older did I understand the significance of her work.
If you are not familiar with her work, here some images below:
The Last Great Adventure is you, 2014, Neon, 177 3/16 x 67 11/16 in. (450 x 172 cm)
Good Body, 2014, Gouache on canvas, 10 x 10 in. (25.4 x 25.4 cm)
My Bed, 1998, Mattress, linens, pillows, objects, 79 x 211 x 234 cm
Everyone I have Ever Slept With, 1963 – 1995, 1995 Appliquéd tent, mattress and light 122 x 245 x 214 cm

Currently, she is in Sydney working with the City of Sydney on a new public artwork and with her busy schedule was able to do a talk at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Australia.
Unfortunately, I missed out on tickets but thankfully they recorded the talk and you can watch it below:
