The exhibition Tracey Emin. Sex and Solitude closes its doors at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence with more than 70,000 visitors, registering great success with the public and critics. The exhibition, curated by Arturo Galansino, Director General of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, represented the largest retrospective ever held in Italy on the British artist, among the most iconic and controversial protagonists of the contemporary scene.
The exhibition traced Tracey Emin ’s career from the 1990s to the present, through works ranging across different techniques and materials, in an intimate and powerful narrative. The project will find an international follow-up with a major retrospective at London’s Tate Modern, scheduled for spring 2026.
