This is a Unique work

Original, unique hand signed drawing of a woman on her bed by beloved British artist Tracey Emin - who catapulted to international superstardom in 1999 with the installation at the Turner Prize exhibition at Tate Britain, of her iconic 1998 "My Bed" - which had been on loan to the Tate for a decade by Charles Saatchi. Consisting of Emin’s bed, dirty underwear, cigarette butts, empty vodka bottles, and boxes of contraceptive pills, crumpled tissues, period-stained clothing, a pregnancy test, lubricant, and condoms surrounded her bed. The artwork was created after the artist spent four days in it recovering from a breakup. The present drawing depicting a woman in her bed, created by Tracey Emin in 2018 at the Royal Academy, is a nod to her career-making confessional piece done exactly two decades earlier. If there's one iconic piece that most represents Tracey Emin's oeuvre - this is it. A true and absolutely unique collectible. You might not find the likes of this for a while.
