In her first major Nordic exhibition, British artist Tracey Emin shows how Edvard Munch has influenced and shaped her work over several decades.
Tracey Emin (born 1963) is one of the UK’s most celebrated and controversial contemporary artists. In this exhibition, visitors can experience Emin’s wide-ranging artistic practice and gain rare insight into her long-standing fascination with Edvard Munch. This fascination began at an early age and was a key factor in Emin’s decision to become an artist. In 1998, Emin referred directly to Munch in her film work Homage to Edvard Munch and All My Dead Children, which takes place in Åsgårdstrand, where Munch was living when he painted several of his most famous works.
