Emin

Emin is a storyteller whose subject matter comes from Emin's own rich life. Through the poetry of her honest retelling of unique and intimate life-events Emin establishes a generous dialogue between the viewer and the artist.
Or... Emin is the Eliza Doolittle of the art world. Some rich Saatchis found a street urchin with no discernible talent, grooming or social skills and one said to the other "I bet I could have all the Sunday Supplement brigade fawning over her artwork within a year." "I have a guinea that says you couldn't my good man." "Very well, I take your bet. Now let's go to the Ivy." "Capital plan, my good sir. The goose is excellent at this time of year..."
Well look at what you've done. I hope you're happy.
