Tracey Emin has created Here We Are Again 2025 exclusively for Turner Contemporary. This lithograph depicts the artist in bed with her two cats. Emin produced this intimate self portrait at Counter Editions' Margate studio.
Drawing and printmaking remain key mediums for Emin, who studied printmaking at Maidstone College of Art. Each lithograph is hand-printed, hand-torn, and signed, titled, and numbered by the artist.

About the Artist
Tracey Emin represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2007 and was elected a Royal Academician in the same year.
In 2011, Emin became the Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. In June 2024, King Charles III appointed her Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for her contributions to the visual arts. Emin currently lives and works in Margate and will present a major exhibition at Tate Modern in 2026.
Her practice includes painting, drawing, film, photography, sewn appliqué, sculpture, and neon, but in recent years she has focused on painting. Inspired by artists Egon Schiele and Edvard Munch, her paintings are provocative, confrontational, and vulnerable. They are at once deeply personal and universal, and it’s for this reason her work is revered around the world, and she has become an international icon.
