Tracey Emin, geboren 1963, zählt zu den international einflussreichsten Künstlerinnen der Gegenwart. Berühmt wurde sie im Umfeld der Young British Artists mit aufsehenerregenden Arbeiten wie My Bed oder Everyone I have ever slept with 1963-1995. Seit 2007 ist sie Mitglied in der Royal Academy of Arts.

Tracey Emin's work has succeeded over the years in many media - from films to appliqués, embroideries, and installations - but it is in her works on paper that the honesty and frankness that have come to characterize her work are most fully realized. Edited by the artist herself from an archive of work stretching back before the beginnings of her career in the late 1980s, "One Thousand Drawings" is at once a collection of Emins works on paper, an exposé of her life as an artist, and a collectible artifact in itself. Many of these works on paper shed light on well-known multimedia pieces, previously studied in "Works 1963-2006", published in 2006. Stripped of the distractions of form and context, her bare and enigmatic drawings are presented on bible-thin paper in a uniquely beautiful slipcased volume, with an introduction by the artist. From considered self-portraits to pen-and-ink drawings and informal studies on lined notebook paper, this remarkable collection is as much a catalogue of Emins preoccupations as it is a monument to her raw and evocative talents as an artist.
