About the Item

In 2009 the YBA artist Marcus Harvey painted one of the few contemporary depictions of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. It was rendered in a similar style as his best known work “Myra” (1995) a black-and-white portrait of the child killer, which was composed of children’s hand prints. “Maggie” was also a black-and-white portrait composed by casting vegetables, dildos, masks, skulls and hands in plaster and attaching to the canvas to render the portrait. The painting is comprised of over 15,000 casts of sculptural objects. A Tony Blair mask makes an appearance on the artwork as does other references to British history and identity. In 2016 Harvey created two limited edition silkscreen prints of 'Maggie' and 'Mryra' for the London Original Print Fair at the Royal Academy of Arts, published by Shapero Modern. Silkscreen, 2016, on Somerset wove, signed and numbered from the edition of 25, published by Shapero Modern, London, printed by K2 Screens, London, image Size 395 x 485mm, sheet 500mm x 635mm

    By Marcus Harvey
    Located in London, GB
    Silkscreen, 2016, on Somerset wove, signed and numbered from the edition of 25, published by Shapero Modern, London, printed by K2 Screens, London, image size 39.5 x 48.5 cm (15.6 x 19.1 in), sheet 50 x 63.5 cm. (19.7 x 25 in.) Marcus Harvey's 'Myra' was included in the controversial Sensation exhibition of Young British Artists at the Royal Academy of Art in London in 1997. Norman Rosenthal, the Secretary of the Royal Academy, described it as the single most important painting in the show – "a very, very cathartic picture ... It is an incredibly serious and sober work of art that needs to be seen."[4] However, it provoked angry press and public comment before the exhibition opened, including the ironic comment in an editorial in The Sun: 'Myra Hindley...

    These Feelings Were True - Tracey Emin, Contemporary, Young British Artiststs, Lithograph, Blue, Portrait, Limited Edition 2 colour lithographs on Somerset Velvet Warm White 400gsm (Poprtfolio of 8) Edition 25 of 50, the full Set is offered in matching edition numbers Signed, numbered, and dated by the artist In mint condition, as acquired from the publisher with the original cardboard portfolio Published by Counter Editions Please note: images are for illustrative purposes only, the edition number offered is 25 of 50 Tracey Emin's new set of 8 lithographs depicting herself are incredibly personal auto portraits and revelatory. Viewed almost as an intimate tiny sketchbook of herself, a visual diary. These editions are great examples of Emin's radical painting style which has been influenced by Expressionism. These works showcase universal feelings, raw and bittersweet emotions, which are Emin’s constant subject surrounded around the idea of love, loss, intimacy, and longing. In making herself the subject of her work, and concentrating intensely on figuration, Emin creates bridges with the rich art-historical tradition of the female figure and female nudes. She shows strong emotive force in these pictures, as seen for example in the work of male painters Munch and Schiele, which Emin admires and studied throughout her artistic oeuvre. Emin has said that “when I saw that these portraits did not look like me, I then realized I was actually drawing how I felt inside my head. An expression of myself in different moments, and this idea doing a few of them would be very honest and will be really free… the idea is how I am feeling.” When referencing her previous portraiture practice, Emin said “I would put my face in the work and then I would black it out, it is too much for me to have me in the work, and now it is so weird, I am thinking that it is time for me to start having an entrance to my work. Because I have a good reason to do it. I should be celebrating me as a person and things that make me, me.” TRACEY EMIN A prominent member of the Young British Artists (YBAs), Tracey Emin´s production encompasses different mediums including film, painting, neon, embroidery, drawing, writing, installation and sculpture. Her work is intensely personal, revealing intimate details of her life with honesty and humour. "There should be something revelatory about art. It should be totally creative and open doors for new thoughts and experiences."—Tracey Emin Tracey Emin uses all aspects of her life in her art, turning her autobiography into broader statements about sex, love, death, freedom, and everyday life. This audacious and confessional approach earned her a nomination for the Turner Prize in 1999. The artist received notable acclaim, among others, for her installation My Bed, featuring her unmade bed surrounded...
