Turner Contemporary to Open Tracey Emin Exhibition, 5/26

On May 26th, Turner Contemporary will open a major solo exhibition of Tracey Emin's work titled, She Lay Down Deep Beneath the Sea. This exhibition was conceived specially for Margate, where Emin grew up and the source of inspiration for many of her works.

This exhibition explores the themes of love, sensuality and romanticism in Emin's oeuvre, featuring both new and existing works including drawings, monoprints, sculptures and neons.

The exhibition's central themes continue in a display of paintings, sketches and watercolours of erotic subjects by Tracey Emin as well as JMW Turner and Auguste Rodin, whose iconic sculpture The Kiss is on view at Turner Contemporary until 2 September 2012.
