Tracey Emin has spoken about her recovery from cancer as the British artist opened a new exhibition in Rome, recalling her last visit to the Italian capital “when I was dying, but didn’t know it”.
Fifteen artworks completed by Emin since she was given the all-clear from bladder cancer in 2021 are being displayed at the Galleria Lorcan O’Neill in central Rome. Called You Should Have Saved Me, the works are described as a testament “to the healing power of art”.
