Tracey Emin has undergone an extraordinary metamorphosis from a young, unknown artist into the 'bad girl' of the Young British Art (yBA) movement, challenging the complacency of the art establishment in both her work and her life. Today she is arguably the doyenne of the British art scene and attracts more acclaim than controversy. Her work is known by a wide audience, yet rarely receives the critical attention it deserves.

In Tracey Emin: Art Into Life, writers from a range of art historical, artistic and curatorial perspectives examine how Emin's art, life and celebrity status have become inextricably intertwined. This innovative collection explores Emin's intersectional identity, including her Turkish-Cypriot heritage, ageing and sexuality, reflects on her early years as an artist, and debates issues of autobiography, self-presentation and performativity alongside the multi-media exchanges of her work and the tensions between art and craft. With its discussions of the central themes of Emin's art, attention to key works such as My Bed, and accessible theorization of her creative practice, Tracey Emin: Art into Life will interest a broad readership.

Reviews
“Tracey Emin - artist, public figure, legend - remains divisive. In the first significant new scholarship on Emin in a decade, Tracey Emin: Art Into Life treats readers to a collection of critical essays that probes the reaches of her layered performances of identities. With both her enduring provocations and artistic preoccupations analysed here, this volume offers critical insights into Emin's continuing significance to art today.” –  August Davis, Associate Professor of Contemporary Art History, University of Texas at Arlington, USA

The story of the Bauhaus has usually been kept narrow, localized to its original time and place and associated with only a few famous men such as Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and László Moholy-Nagy. Global Bauhaus Women bursts the bounds of this slim history by revealing fresh Bauhaus faces: forty-five Bauhaus women unjustifiably forgotten by most history books. This book reveals the women of the Bauhaus who came from many parts of Europe and beyond, and how, through these cosmopolitan female designers, artists, and architects, it sent the Bauhaus message out into the world and to a global audience.

Essential reading on the Bauhaus or for anyone interested in the too-often-missed centrality of women artists to modern art and design, Global Bauhaus Women reclaims the other half of Bauhaus history, yielding a new understanding of the radical experiments in art and life undertaken at the Bauhaus and the innovations that continue to resonate with viewers around the world today.
