Exploring themes of love, sensuality and romanticism, the show has been conceived specially for the venue.

New and existing works by the artist will sit alongside a display of work on erotic subjects by JMW Turner and Auguste Rodin, whose Art Funded work The Kiss is on display until September.

What the critics say

the-telegraph

Not only is the work all new, but Emin seems to be using her first real exhibition in Margate to make a definitive break with her dysfunctional Margate past.

Turner Contemporary's wonderful galleries bathe art in glorious daylight, and in response Emin has created a rhapsody in blue on white, with a series of gouache drawings and embroideries on calico.
