Tate Modern Announces Largest-Ever Tracey Emin Survey for 2026

The show frames her confessional art through four decades of life events.

Overview

  • The survey will present more than 90 works spanning painting, sculpture, video, textile, neon, and installation.
  • Landmark pieces include Exorcism of the Last Painting I Ever Made (1996) and the Turner Prize–nominated My Bed (1998).
  • The museum will publicly debut the 2002 quilt The Last of the Gold, which addresses abortion through an “A to Z” motif.
  • Recent work on illness features the 2024 bronze Ascension and stills from a new documentary confronting her surgery and stoma.
  • Conceived with Emin, the exhibition adds large-scale new works, including the 2023 outdoor piece I Followed You Until The End, and highlights her ties to Margate.
