New Tracey Emin prints at Counter

*UPDATE 2nd June 2011. Use this code - TECE2011 - at the checkout to get £100 off these prints.*


Counter editions have two new Tracey Emin prints for sale on their website. It seems that £650 is their new starting point for their prints which seems a little steep, but they are always excellent quality and will probably be worth much more in the long run.

She Lay Down (2011)

£650.00
Edition of 150
Lithograph on Somerset Velvet 300 gsm paper
55.5 x 72.5 cm
Signed, numbered and dated by the artist.

To coincide with her retrospective exhibition Love is What You Want at the Hayward Gallery, Tracey Emin has created two new limited edition prints. The lithographic prints are close in style to both her early watercolours and to her more recent large-scale paintings. Emin describes the landscape in She Lay Down (2011) as “a dream-like place - a cross between a desert and an ocean.” In this landscape the prone, solitary female has an ambiguous presence: is she lying at the bottom of the sea, or simply lying asleep?

Laying with the Olive Trees (2011) uses the repeated motif of the olive tree to bring a sense of life to the female figure lying in a state of deathly repose. Perhaps her thoughts are drifting to the rolling hills of olive groves in her much-visited Turkish-Cypriot homeland, or maybe Provence where the artist often spends her summers. Buy it here.
