Tracey Emin - My Bed, 1998, box frame, mattress, linens, pillows...











Tracey Emin - My Bed, 1998, box frame, mattress, linens, pillows and various objects, at Tate Liverpool

“In 1998 I had a complete, absolute breakdown, and I spent four days in bed; I was asleep and semi-unconscious. When I eventually did get out of bed, I had some water, went back, looked at the bedroom and couldn’t believe what I could see; this absolute mess and decay of my life, and then I saw the bed out of that context of this tiny, tiny, bedroom, and I saw it in just like a big, white space. I realised that I had to move the bed and everything into the gallery space.“
