===Royal Academician (2007)===
On 29 March 2007, Tracey Emin was made a Royal Academician by the Royal Academy of Arts. In becoming a member of the Royal Academy Emin joined an elite group of artists that includes [[David Hockney]], Peter Blake, Anthony Caro and Alison Wilding. Her Academician status entitles Emin to exhibit up to six works in the annual summer exhibition.<ref>Roberts, Geneviève.

Emin had previously been invited to include works at the R.A. Summer Exhibitions of 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2001. For 2004's Summer Exhibition, Emin was chosen by fellow artist David Hockney to submit two monoprints, one called ''And I'd Love To Be The One'' (1997) and another on the topic of Emin's abortion called ''Ripped Up'' (1995), as that year's theme celebrated the art of drawing as part of the creative process, while 2007 saw Emin exhibit a neon work called ''Angel'' (2005). Her art was first exhibited at the Royal Academy as part of the ''Sensation'' exhibition in 1997.

For the June 2008 Summer Exhibition, Emin was invited to curate a gallery.<ref>[http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibitions/summer-exhibition/ Summer Exhibition 2008 – Exhibitions] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080808114045/http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibitions/summer-exhibition |date=8 August 2008 }}, royalacademy.org.uk.
