Tracey Emin
16 March—20 July 2025
Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, Italy
From 16 March to 20 July 2025 Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi in Florence will host a major exhibition dedicated to Tracey Emin, the contemporary British artist celebrated for works combining autobiography with a constant formal research of profound experimentation.
Tracey Emin works with a variety of media including drawing, painting, sculpture, video, installation, and photography, with a strong focus on the body and human relationships. Life and art have always coexisted in her research, leading her to create works in which personal stories become existential metaphors. Vulnerability, rawness, and physicality are keywords that determine an artistic world in which desire and love are accompanied by pain and sacrifice.
Curated by Arturo Galansino, the exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi will be her first ever held in an Italian institution. A selection of historical and recent works will convey the controversial and lacerating aesthetic of one of the artists who has most marked the image of women and the relationship between body and existence in contemporary art over the last thirty years.
