Postcard - Tracey Emin – Mad Tracey from Margate

Louisiana Postcard featuring the work Mad Tracey from Margate, 1997, published in connection with the exhibition Tracey Emin: A Second Life on October 8, 2026. Tracey Emin (b. 1963) is known for her personal and direct artistic expression, where her own experiences, feelings, and events form the starting point for her works. Throughout her career, she has achieved international recognition and is today considered one of the most prominent artists of our time.

Through painting, drawing, sculpture, textiles, film, and installation, the exhibition Tracey Emin: A Second Life – which is being created in close collaboration with the artist and includes works that have never been shown before – tells the entire story about and with Tracey Emin. A life of rape, abortion, and very serious illness – a life in pictures, carried by creative power in spite of everything, by courage and struggle, despair and joy.
