Tracey Emin: ‘That bed kept me alive’

It has to be one of the most famous pieces of furniture in art – Tracey Emin’s My Bed. The work is a snapshot of Emin’s life after a traumatic breakup. It sealed the artist’s bad-girl reputation and made her famous – and now the work is expected to make over £1m at auction. At her studio, Razia Iqbal asked Emin if she was now part of the establishment.
