Editing Tracey Emin (section)

===Public recognition===
Emin was largely unknown by the public until she appeared on a [[Channel 4]] television programme in 1997, ''[https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/1997/dec/04/20yearsoftheturnerprize.turnerprize "Is Painting Dead?"<!-- and not "After Dark", see this article's Talk page -->]''. The show comprised a group discussion about that year's [[Turner Prize]] and was broadcast live. Emin said she was drunk, slurred and swore before walking out. From the interview: "Are they really real people in England watching this programme now, they really watching, really watching it?"<ref>{{cite web|last1=Longrigg|first1=Clare|title=Sixty Minutes, Noise: by art's bad girl|url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/1997/dec/04/20yearsoftheturnerprize.turnerprize1|website=The Guardian|date=4 December 1997|access-date=3 July 2014}}</ref>

Two years later, in 1999, Emin was shortlisted for the Turner Prize herself and exhibited ''[[My Bed]]'' at the [[Tate Gallery]].<ref name=":5"/>

There was considerable media attention regarding the apparently trivial and possibly unhygienic elements of the installation, such as yellow stains on the bedsheets, condoms, empty cigarette packets, and a pair of knickers with menstrual stains. The bed was presented as it had been when she had stayed in it for several days, feeling suicidal because of relationship difficulties.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/reviews/tracey-emins-my-bed-at-tate-britain-review-in-the-flesh-its-frankness-is-still-arresting-10144882.html|title=Still unmade ...

Two performance artists, [[Yuan Chai and Jian Jun Xi]], jumped onto the bed with bare torsos to "improve" the work, which they thought had not gone far enough.<ref name="Kino">Kim Min Su and Stephen Mallinder (1 February 2010) [http://www.artdesigncafe.com/Tracey-Emin-media-coverage-vs-Cabaret-Voltaire-Kino-ADP-2-1-2010 Tracey Emin media coverage vs. Cabaret Voltaire's ''Kino''] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120710050420/http://www.artdesigncafe.com/Tracey-Emin-media-coverage-vs-Cabaret-Voltaire-Kino-ADP-2-1-2010 |date=10 July 2012 }}, ''Art Design Publicity''.

In July 1999, at the height of Emin's [[Turner Prize]] fame, she created a number of [[Monoprinting|monoprints]] drawings inspired by the public and private life of [[Princess Diana]] for a themed exhibition called ''Temple of Diana'' held at The Blue Gallery, London. Works such as ''They Wanted You To Be Destroyed'' (1999)<ref>Work illustrated on page 21 of Neal Brown's book ''Tracey Emin (Tate's Modern Artists Series)'' (London: Tate, 2006); {{ISBN|1-85437-542-3}}</ref> related to Princess Diana's [[bulimia]], while other monoprints included affectionate texts such as ''Love Was on Your Side'' and a description of Princess Diana's ''dress with puffy sleeves''. Other drawings highlighted ''The things you did to help other people'' written next to a drawing by Emin of [[Diana, Princess of Wales]] in protective clothing walking through a minefield in Angola. Another work was a delicate sketch of a rose drawn next to the phrase "It makes perfect sence to know they killed you" (with Emin's trademark spelling mistakes) referring to the conspiracy theories surrounding Princess Diana's death. Emin herself described the drawings, saying they "could be considered quite scrappy, fresh, kind of naïve looking drawings" and "It's pretty difficult for me to do drawings not about me and about someone else. But I have did have a lot of ideas. They're quite sentimental I think and there's nothing cynical about it whatsoever."<ref>[http://www.zczfilms.com/shop/films/mad-tracey-from-margate Video footage and interview with Emin from The Blue Gallery exhibition is included in the 1999 documentary ''Mad Tracey From Margate''] by ZCZ Films.{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mad-Tracey-Emin-From-Margate/dp/B00X1NPEXG/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1430816529&sr=1-1|title=Mad Tracey Emin From Margate|website=Amazon UK|date=November 2012}}</ref>

Emin was invited to [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]'s country estate Ashcombe and has been described by the singer, "Tracey is intelligent and wounded and not afraid to expose herself," she says.

Like the [[George Michael]] and [[Kenny Goss]] neon, Emin created a unique neon work for her supermodel friend [[Kate Moss]] called ''Moss Kin''. In 2004, it was reported that this unique piece had been discovered dumped in a skip in east London. The piece, consisting of neon tubing spelling the words ''Moss Kin'', had been mistakenly thrown out of a basement, owned by the craftsman who made the glass. The artwork was never collected by Moss and had therefore been stored for three years in the basement of a specialist artist used by Emin in the Spitalfields area. It was accidentally dumped when the craftsman moved.<ref>"[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts/3790377.stm Emin artwork found dumped in skip"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070329031644/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts/3790377.stm |date=29 March 2007 }}, BBC, 9 June 2004.
