Tracey Emin: Neon Text Works, Monoprints and Recurring Themes Explained

Tracey Emin: An Introduction

On 27th February 2026, Tate Modern will unveil the largest retrospective of Dame Tracey Emin’s work to date, an accolade we feel is long overdue.

Unquestionably one of our greatest living artists, Emin’s work has gone from strength to strength. By turns challenging, inspiring and ruthlessly beautiful, her images are part of the contemporary canon, their position secure for the decades to come.

Emin has always been a devoted printmaker, and it’s been our great privilege to exhibit examples of her work for the last decade. We may not be able to compete with the Tate for volume, but we can offer you the ability to take an original Emin home with you - something a museum would certainly frown upon!

We have a lovely, lyrical collection of signed Tracey Emin prints available framed and ready to hang, each a limited-edition original by one of Britain's greatest living artists

Emin's prints fall into a few distinct strands. Her neon text works — rendered in lithograph or screenprint — translate the raw, handwritten energy of her neon sculptures into something you can live with on a wall. Her monoprints are among her most intimate works, each one unique, drawn directly onto the plate with a physical immediacy that mirrors her confessional approach to art. Running through almost everything she makes are the same recurring themes: love, longing, the female body, memory and survival. Whether a work dates from the 1990s or the 2020s, it is unmistakably hers.
