Tracey Emin Sparks Debate on Artistic Longevity

Emin claims male artists peak in their forties, while women continue to grow creatively throughout their lives.

Emin's remarks about male artists losing creative force after their forties have ignited discussions in the art world.
She cites examples like Damien Hirst, claiming his creative energy has waned since his early successes.
Critics argue that many male artists, such as Picasso and Turner, produced significant works later in life.
Emin highlights Louise Bourgeois as an example of a female artist who maintained her creative output into old age.
The debate touches on broader themes of gender, creativity, and the differing trajectories of male and female artists.
