Tracey Emin’s new exhibition in Rome, You Should Have Saved Me, presents a body of work made over the past two years in her studios in London and Margate.These paintings and works on paper testify to the healing power of art, they invite us to look at our vulnerabilities, and to find hope in the face of adversity. 
“Being patient is so important with art... especially painting... knowing when to start and when to stop... not to be afraid to let go or destroy... knowing when to think and most of all understanding when it’s finished.”   Tracey Emin, 2023.
