My bed
[/i]By Tracey Emmin[/i]

A little about the artist and the work:
"Tracey Emin shows us her own bed, in all its embarrassing glory. Empty booze bottles, fag butts, stained sheets, worn panties: the bl***y aftermath of a nervous breakdown. By presenting her bed as art, Tracey Emin shares her most personal space, revealing she’s as insecure and imperfect as the rest of the world."

This piece of art sold for £150,000!


The debate
Is this art? What makes this so good? Does it mean anything to you or is it just a messy bed?

I remember this a few years ago. It caused a major talking point becuase it won the Tate prize I think.


Yeah I can see art in this, because of the story behind it. It is not everyday art, but contemporary Art.
