Tracey Emin in Conversation with Jonathan Jones | Tate Talks 

I love listening to Tracey, working class, feminist, independant, professional, ambitious artist, so refreshing and liberating for the majority still.

Surprised at the vicious commentary!! I love Tracy, find her very inspiring and love how she has seasoned over the years. That is a work of art in itself.

Tracy's work is unique, brilliant and original. There's nothing else to say, except have a go yourself, see where it takes you.😊

If you do not like her, do not watch. I think she is great

She was talking in a video two years ago about her dad who had just died. Sad to listen to her say that her mom also died...

Thank you so much for sharing this video. She is so interesting and inspiring!

She does simple painting and it's so captivating and I love that she's all about woman . Love her

Honest art. I love it and I love her. Powerful and real. ❤

When I read a book it’s like a film in my mind as well👍

... and he doesn't bring a comment on them '' ending up in a skip '' ???? is he listening ?? goodness me ... he would rather listen to himself !

I love her

This sound quality is killing me

Being an art buyer these days is comprehensively and indisputably vulgar. It is the sport of the Eurotrashy, Hedge-fundy, Hamptonites; of trendy oligarchs and oiligarchs; and of art dealers with masturbatory levels of self-regard. They were found nestling together in their super yachts in Venice for this year's spectacular art biennale. Venice is now firmly on the calendar of this new art world, alongside St Barts at Christmas and St Tropez in August, in a giddy round of glamour-filled socialising, from one swanky party to another. Artistic credentials are au courant in the important business of being seen as cultured, elegant and, of course, stupendously rich. Advertisement Do any of these people actually enjoy looking at art? Or do they simply enjoy having easily recognised, big-brand name pictures, bought ostentatiously in auction rooms at eye-catching prices, to decorate their several homes, floating and otherwise, in an instant demonstration of drop-dead coolth and wealth. Their pleasure is to be found in having their lovely friends measuring the weight of their baubles, and being awestruck. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/dec/02/saatchi-hideousness-art-world

Why does everyone react so negatively to this woman and her work? I don’t get it..🙄

Tracey Emin is an incredibly talented and renowned artist known for her deeply personal and emotive artwork!

you inspire me tracey

I like them both.

16:48 "battle with my soul." 31:04,

Words, words, words, words and more words. Blah. Paintings that speak for themselves are GOOD.

the only reason she and other artists like Damien hirst,and other big names got famous is because sachi bought there paintings, a bed in emins case and exhibited them in big galleries like the tate.,,, end of story.

THEN he listens and says not one word and Changes The Subject !!!

My favourite Tracey moment is when she was drunk and walked out of that studio art discussion with a load of snobs who looked down on her. Now she’s having the last laugh in many ways 🎉

You can count the number of visual artists who have something interesting to say about painting on the fingers of one hand. John Hoyland and Gillian Ayers and ... ? They (we) really should stop it. Excruciating

Job Done Mam: Janel, Jay and Norman Rosental. ( is Painting Dead?👌👻

you misspelled Johnathan in the title. he spells it with an H. nice video though.

Her practice......such a pretentious word, I first heard it being used liberally about ten years ago, seems petty of me, but I find it irritating.

I never measure she says. She then says some good advice someone once gave her is to measure twice and cut once. Talk about contradicting yourself!!!!

Don't be afraid to say the King is naked people. The art world is fully of pretentious elitist snobs who think if you dont like the art works then you are too stupid to appreciate art. We are all critics and we should just say so if we think an artist's work is crap!!

Over blown minor talent

Stop lying. Please.

One underwhelming conceptual artist and one utter fool together at last.

Her art bores me. But I am sure there is more than enough room for all tastes and wants.

influential artist I don't think so! lets be honest her drawings are sexual crap

idk why this man is next to her tho.

But if it was put to a public vote, I think the result would be that she can't draw!!!!

The man is a hired mascot of hers or......?

EMBARRASSING

So her teachers thought she was an artistic genius at 14 or 15 years old did they? Yeah right!! So what happened since then Tracey? Where did the genius in you go? It obviously left you when you were still a teenager.

Everyone reads a book in real time. And in order to see the pictures evoked in a book you first have to read the frigging words!!! She does not make sense!!!

A helicopter? Really? A private lake? Really? Must be nice, eh? A house in France? Really? That's not being an artist, that's being rich.
