The tradition of the Momart Christmas Card goes back to 1984 when the first object – a festive card – was designed for us by Bruce McLean. Each year, for over 30 years, an artist, with whom we have an established relationship, has been invited to design a limited Christmas card edition for Momart’s clients. Since then we have been lucky to collaborate on this project with many of the top British and international artists including Lucian Freud, David Hockney, Gary Hume, Sarah Lucas, Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst.
Tracey Emin (born 1963) is an English artist. She studied at Maidstone College of Art and the Royal College of Art, London. She is part of the group known as Britartists or YBAs (Young British Artists).
Emin’s art is one of disclosure, using her life events as inspiration for works ranging from painting, drawing, video and installation, to photography, needlework and sculpture. She reveals her hopes, humiliations, failures and successes in candid and, at times, excoriating work that is frequently both tragic and humorous. She has exhibited extensively internationally including solo and group exhibitions in Holland, Germany, Japan, Australia and America.
Emin was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1999 and in 2007 represented Britain at the 52nd Venice Biennale.
Tracey Emin lives and works in London.
