“I spent all my life fighting against what I should have been.”
EMIN, Tracey. One Thousand Drawings. New York: Rizzoli. 2009.
Oblong 8vo. Original white pictorial boards lettered in black, perfectly preserved in original glassine wrapper; spine lightly bumped; near fine.
First edition, hardcover, with an intimate engraving on Japanese Misumi white paper, 'Suffer Love', numbered 66/250 and signed by Emin, encased in a glassine envelope.
This compilation of 1001 illustrations, devoid of context, form the abstract diary of an artist who has consistently embraced raw emotional authenticity in her work. One Thousand Drawings, an iconic body of work expressed through beautifully intimate scrawls, invites the viewer to trace the emotional breadth of a bold and prolific creative.
