About the artwork
Produced in 2025,Here We are Again uses a spare figurative line and areas of untouched paper to evoke a moment of return. The body is suggested rather than fully modelled,with overlapping marks recording hesitation and repeated movement. The title functions beside the figure like an internal voice,giving the open composition a sense of emotional recurrence.
The stated technique is lithograph on Somerset Velvet Warm White paper. It measures approximately 40 × 50.5 cm. The lithographic process records changes in pressure,broken contours and overlapping gestures without regularizing the original drawing. Large areas of untouched paper remain visible around the marks,allowing the figure or handwritten phrase to retain an exposed and provisional character.
Expert opinion
The title suggests recurrence,return and the persistence of an emotional situation. Emin’s figure is not presented as a stable portrait but as a trace of lived experience. The edition brings the privacy of her drawing into a public form without removing its sense of immediacy.
As a work by Tracey Emin,Here We are Again is notable because it retains the hesitation and exposure of private experience within a public edition.
About the artist
Tracey Emin is a British artist born in London in 1963, and associated with the Young British Artists movement that profoundly influenced the art scene in the UK in the nineties. Her largely autobiographical work explores themes of love, sexuality, vulnerability, loss and identity in a wide variety of media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, neon, video, embroidery and installation. She achieved international recognition with emblematic works such as My Bed, presented in 1999 and now a symbol of radical confessional art. Handwritten language, often direct and emotionally charged, is a central element of her practice, particularly in her neon works, which translate intimate statements into luminous messages displayed in public spaces. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy in 2007, Tracey Emin has had major exhibitions in international institutions and her work is included in numerous public and private collections, confirming her essential role in the evolution of contemporary art centered on personal experience and subjectivity.
