It has been 15 years since the last whole-career exhibition of Tracey’s work. A Second Life brings together over 100 works encompassing painting, video, textile, neon, sculpture and installation, all illustrating her raw approach. The show begins by presenting works from her first solo exhibition at White Cube, My Major Retrospective 1982-93, comprising a series of tiny photographs of her art school paintings from the 1980s, which she destroyed during her self-proclaimed “emotional suicide”. This acutely sets the tone for introducing the many facets of Tracey.
