She’s been a major figure in contemporary art for over 25 years; he pioneered a radical new style known as Expressionism. In this landmark exhibition, Tracey Emin selects masterpieces by Edvard Munch to show alongside her most recent paintings.

It got caught by the second lockdown, then by the Tier 4 rules and then by
the third lockdown. Bookings to see it have now been suspended given there
is no obvious prospect of it opening before it is due to close.
It's also apparent that the RA is having to review its
programme of exhibitions for 2021.
Following the announcement of a third lockdown, we have made the difficult decision to suspend ticket bookings for Tracey Emin: The Loneliness of the Soul. We are currently reviewing our programme of exhibitions for 2021 and will share more information as soon as we can.
I'm not sure but I think the Royal Academy of Arts may have changed its approach to Virtual Tours of its exhibitions. I've got a vague recollection of an online tour being available - but subject to a charge
Now you can see a video of the hung exhibition - for free - but you are invited to make a donation of £15 to the cost of the exhibition.
I like Munch and I know some people love Tracy Emin - but she's never been one of those artists I'd go out of my way to see. Nevertheless:
- here is how to see the VIDEO - Virtual tour – Tracey Emin / Edvard Munch: The Loneliness of the Soul
- plus the VIDEO Conversations on Contemporary Art | Tracey Emin / Edvard Munch
- plus the YouTube VIDEO - with narration by Tracy Emin
- below is more information about the exhibition.
