Shoot the Moon book sculpture

Been a bit quiet on the blog lately, busy preparing for exhibition in early July and moving house at the end of June.
Anyway, here is a new book sculpture, Shoot the Moon. A bit of a departure by using printed trees and figures, which were then cut out by hand.

Have just spent the morning designing some greeting cards which should be printed and delivered within a couple of weeks, will post when they are available.

UPDATE - cards have been printed and are available for purchase here.

Tracey Emin - The Kiss print

Another new print from Tracey Emin, this time from the White Cube gallery. The Kiss is a commemorative piece for the recent Royal Wedding. It is quite a large edition of 1000, but a very attactive price of only £100 plus tax and postage.

At this price I would say it could be a good investment if it is snapped up by all those Wills and Kate fans!

Buy it here.

UPDATE 20 May 2011 White Cube had 200 of these - they have sold out!

You can still get it from Tracey direct at Emin International here, it is actually cheaper as they are only charging £4 for postage as opposed the White Cube's £20! I've just ordered mine.

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.
