'I'm the most content I've ever been': Tracey Emin on having her first museum show in Italy, losing her libido and why she had to take a break from painting

Tracey Emin, facing a terminal cancer diagnosis in 2020, has seen her dreams of major exhibitions in the US and Italy realized. Her first institutional show in the US, titled 'I Loved You Until the Morning', opens at Yale Center for British Art, while 'Sex and Solitude' at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence showcases her diverse artistic expressions across her career. Emin, who has undergone personal transitions, including sobriety and receiving a damehood, reflects on the significance of her achievements amidst her health struggles.

Tracey Emin describes receiving a damehood as an achievement, saying, "But to be given that accolade and to have lived exactly how I've wanted to live is quite an achievement."
