Tracey Emin, Detail of Love, 2020

She also discusses her seminal neon works—involving poetic words or phrases rendered in her own handwriting—and the many copycats they’ve inspired. “I have so many people ripping me off now, in fact, some makers refuse to take on work that is obviously a copy,” she said. “They say, ‘We love Tracey Emin, she changed the world of neon!’” Read the full feature here
