Question: Why do people rate Tracy Emin's work!?
She is the least talented artist I have ever seen!.

Was it just 'cool' to like her when she erroneously won the Turner Prize!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The people who tell Tracy Ermin that she is a great artist are the same idiots who told Damion Hearst that he was one too!. They also have a say in who wins the Turner Prize, more is the pity!. Still the bubble will burst one day and egg on faces will be every where By the way I have created this masterpiece which consist of an orange with a razor blade taped to it!. I call Sharp Fruit and it's yours for a mere £1!.000!.000 or near offer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think in issues related to Art, it is damn near impossible to nail down what is good and what is bad than perhaps would be the case with any other cultural arena!. It is always, partly at least, a matter of taste but you have also hit upon the celebrity culture factor, quite rightly, which is now so much a part of the saleability of an artist!.
The charisma, shock value, quirkiness and aloof or strange coolness of the individual matters almost as much as their talent, even more so sometimes!. The fact of the matter is that an artist like Emin has these qualities in abundance, she, like Damien Hirst, is interesting, shocking, unpredictable, weird, thought provoking, agenda pushing and perhaps a personification of modern, prized, British values!. At the moment, talented or otherwise, this sells; and some!
It won't last, art is an evolving subject, currently skill, persona and celebrity are highly valued, it has not always been this way and nor will it stay that way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She's one of the few female artists in Britain who deals with ordinary feelings and humanity in her work!. Her work has a rawness to it that speaks to lots of people and that's why they love her!. It's also riddled with insecurity and that is attractive when so much art is pompous and overconfident about what it's trying to say!.

It was 'cool' to like her, of course!. But that's partly because no-one had done stuff like the 'bed' before!. Anybody could have done it!. But they didn't and she did!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Define artist, visual, mime!. it is to my mind anyone that creates whether my daughters first art of finger painting or Tracy Emins great works they are both art to me and pleasing whether technical or not!. My family is a mass of artists musiains!. dancers and many painters we all have are own personality in which we put in to our art!. Personally I loved the tent what a brilliant idea!. All those who have won the Turner Prize did so on their own gumption I love Salvador D, Hockney and pop art whether cool or not if I wanted a landscape I would take my own photo of a landscape that means something to me!. My husband loves Lowery so if any one wants to get rid of a Lowery we would be happy to have it or any of the former mentioned artists!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know if I have any level headed input here!. I went to Art College!. Her work reminds me so much of some of the prats who I went there with!. I mean one of my peers produced Art that consisted of what looked suspiciously like discarded chip wrappers!. She must have given good BS, since she got a first class honours!. Go figure!.!.!.

Emin is first class at being drunk and possibly gives good mouth to those that listen to her!. I like her personality and some of the anarchistic anti-culture that stutters out into galleries she "exhibits" in!. I lost faith in the snobbish BS laden Art world a long time ago!. I think they enjoy having the urine extracted by Emin and co!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can't entirely dislike her as she gave me immense pleasure in seeing her turn up on that arts show steaming pisht!.

The rest of the panel were so sniffy and terribly serious in discussing art that I thought her insults and crying were total class :-)

I don't like 90% of modern art anyways!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The biggest load of shite that ever came out of a human being, is she human, haven't figured that one out!.

I think that Tracy Emin & Damien Hirst being identified as artists could signify the beginning of the "End-of-art" period!. In 200 years time they'll look at this work and say: Those poor people, just look at what they had to endure!Www@QuestionHome@Com
