Tracey Emin talks about painting: what it is, why she does it, why it matters.
Tracey Emin is one of the most widely admired artists working in Britain today. Richly illustrated with photographs of the artist and her art, here is a vivid and intimate portrait of her life and work in her own words, in conversation with art critic Martin Gayford. Emin reflects on painting – how she approaches it, why it matters to her, and how it connects to her life – and how everything has changed since her cancer diagnosis four years ago.
Offering a uniquely personal insight into the artist’s extraordinary life and career, Emin expresses herself in her characteristically frank confessional style that is so familiar to anyone who has seen her paintings. This is Tracey Emin on her own terms: on learning to paint, how to live her life after cancer, and relearning why painting matters above everything else.

Good spot. I imagine it might make it to Hatchard’s too (definitely in-store, maybe online) as well since they’re all under the same ownership group now.
From what I can see at https://www.waterstones.com/book/my-heart-is-this/martin-gayford/97... the Waterstones listing still seems to be up though… surprisingly!!

It's shipping already. Interesting approach. I wonder whether it's related to her illness? Maybe they didn't want to risk pre-orders not knowing what the future might bring.

This has (finally) sold out! My only thought is that it lasted so long because WStones list MG only as the author so many wouldn’t notice it was co-signed…
