"Emin's art is one of full disclosure. In her active self-promotion in both high art and popular media, she lays bare her hopes, humiliations, failures, and successes with equal measures of humor and pathos. (In addition toa busy international exhibition schedule, she writes a weekly column for the British newspaper, The Independent; her memoirs have been published in book form; she has appeared in promotional advertising, and is a fixture on the London social scene).The confessional candor and sexual explicitness of much of Emin's art, combined with her use of techniques and crafts usually associated with women's work, firmly grounds her within contemporary feminist discourse, while her interest in the work of expressionists Edvard Munch and Egon Schiele is evident in her paintings, monoprints and drawings, which explore complex personal states and ideas of stylized self-representation" (the publisher).
