Tracey Emin.

Tracey Karima Emin is a British artist, and is part of a group known as Britartists or YBAs (Young British Artists).

In 1997, Emin's piece Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963-1995, a tent adorned with names, was shown at Charles Saatchi's sensation exhibition at the Royal Academy in London. The same year, Emin gained considerable media exposure.

In 1999, Emin was a Turner Prize nominee and exhibited My Bed, an installation, consisting of her own unmade, dirty bed. This is claimed to be the bed she stayed in for several days consecutively whilst experiencing relationship problems. The piece included used condoms, blood-stained underwear, cigarette packets and alcohol bottles.

In 2004, her tent artwork was destroyed in the Momart warehouse fire. In March 2007, Emin was chosen to join the Royal Academy of Arts in London as a Royal Academician. Emin has often made use of found objects in her work. This started from the early use of a cigarette box which she found in the car crash that killed her uncle.

Another instance is the removal of her beach hut from Whitstable to be displayed in a gallery. This was titled The Last Thing I Said To You Is Don't Leave Me Here (The Hut).

Emin revisited her bed theme in 2002 with her installation To Meet My Past, featuring a four poster bed with exbroidered text hanging down alongside the mattress.
