Tracey Emin Show Open Throughout the Spring Holidays

Although the day after Easter (Pasquetta: April 21), April 25 and May 1 are legal holidays in Florence and through Italy, the Tracy Emin show welcomes visitors daily.

Until July 20: Tracey Emin: Sex and Solitude. Palazzo Strozzi. Open Monday to Friday from 1o am – 8 pm (Thursday until 11 pm), and weekends from 10 am to 8 pm. Admission: €17 for a regular ticket, and €6 for up to the age 18, with additional concession prices available on the event website.

Curated by Arturo Galansino, offers an intimate exploration of one of the most provocative and influential artists of the 20/21st century. This monographic exhibition traces the raw and unflinching work of Emin, a Turner-Prize shortlisted artist renowned for her confrontations with personal trauma, love, and the body. Featuring 60 works – some of which have never been seen in Italy – from across various mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture, neon, and video, the exhibition will take visitors on a journey through Emin’s career from the 1990s to the present, shedding light on the emotional and physical battles she has fought, including sexual violence, abortion, and cancer.

Emin rose to fame with her work ‘My Bed,’ which was nominated for the 1999 Turner Prize and was sold in 2014 for £2.5 million. It represents the forlorn aftermath of a broken relationship, with her curating a piece of work many can relate to. Today, Emin teaches at the Royal Academy in London.
