Turner Prize: My Bed

http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/history/1999.shtm

‘If there’s no genuine feeling it comes across as if they’ve just chosen a subject and done a small project on it. What I’m doing is a life-long project.’

– Tracey Emin as quoted in The Big Issue, October 1999

‘It makes me so angry to see these so-called artists glorifying a messy bedroom. What is the world coming to when a major art exhibition sends out this message?’

– Mother interviewed in The Sun, October 1999

‘Many modern artists take the view that art should address the more unpleasant realities of life and should not necessarily be conventionally beautiful … Tracey Emin, while controversial, is a well respected contemporary artist of the younger generation and already has an international reputation – My Bed was shown in exhibitions in New York and Tokyo earlier this year.’

– Standard Tate reply letter in response to Tracey Emin complaints

Quotes by Tracey

http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/t/tracey_emin.html

I especially liked...

I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.

I'm out of here, I'm better than all of you.

What is truth? Truth doesn't really exist. Who is going to judge whether my experience of an incident is more valid than yours? No one can be trusted to be the judge of that.
