Lehmann Maupin Presents Tracey Emin: Illuminated Valentine

In time for Valentines Day, Lehmann Maupin Gallery presents an installation of Tracey Emin's neon text-based works with titles like When I hold you I hold your heart, And I Said I Love you, and I Can't Believe How much You Loved Me. Written in her signature handwriting, Emin's neon works illuminate the artist's heartfelt emotions and desires.

Having gained notoriety as one of the leading YBAs, Tracey Emin is not only one of Britain’s most significant contemporary artists but also an internationally renowned artist whose blunt, personal and revealing works never fail to elicit reactions that range from shock to empathy and self-reflection. Using experiences from her own life, she often reveals painful situations with brutal honesty and poetic humor in a wide variety of media including film, painting, neon, embroidery, drawing, installation and sculpture.
