Honoured with a damehood earlier this year for her services to art, Emin’s solo exhibition, ‘I followed you to the end’ is on view at White Cube Bermondsey, until 10 November. In spring 2025, she will open major solo international survey exhibitions at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, Italy, and the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut. Comprising ten individual portraits of bronze panels, these works relate directly to ‘The Doors’ (2023), Tracey Emin’s bronze doors that adorn the entrance of The National Portrait Gallery, London. Originally painted in acrylic on paper, Emin’s drawings were meticulously transcribed onto each of the bronze panels retaining the traces of the artist’s finger and thumbprints in the metal surface. Emin has stated: ‘Women in history are greatly underrepresented. I didn’t want to depict specific or identifiable figures. I felt like The Doors of the National Portrait Gallery should represent every woman, every age and every culture throughout time.’ Dimensions variable. Individual panels: 61.6 x 51.7 x 1 cm | 24 1/4 x 20 3/8 x 0 3/8 in.

This work is being shown to coincide with Danh Vo's exhibition at White Cube Mason's Yard, on view 11 October - 16 November 2024.

White Cube is pleased to announce global representation of Alia Ahmad (b.1996, Riyadh). Informed by local textiles, poetry, calligraphy and the diversity of the surrounding desert landscape and plant life, the artist aligns her practice with traditional Bedouin perceptions of time, rejecting the four-season meteorological model in favour of localised observations of weather, vegetation and pasture.

Josiah McElheny’s large scale, dramatic installation, 'Island Universe' (2008) has just gone on exhibition at LACMA, Los Angeles, prominently installed in the centre of the Resnick Pavilion.

Coinciding with his newly opened retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, 'Vater Staat, dressed' (2010) by German artist Thomas Schütte is the subject of the September edition of White Cube's Salon, viewable with White Cube Online. This expressively modelled work in bronze attests to the mastery of Schütte, whose sculptural practice explores the complexities of the human condition. Figure: 48.8 × 20.9 × 12.7 cm | 19 3/16 × 8 1/4 × 5 in. Base: 120 × 29.8 × 29.8 cm | 47 1/4 × 11 3/4 × 11 3/4 in. Overall: 168.9 × 29.8 × 29.8 cm | 66 1/2 × 11 3/4 × 11 3/4 in.
