Meaning & Analysis

Created by Tracey Emin in 2013, this black ink lithograph was released in an edition of 250 and captures an RNLI lifeboat. The moored boat is rendered with simple lines at the centre of the composition, with human figures at the helm depicted in a darker shade of blue. In the same hue is a figure standing in the left foreground of the work, and the shadow case by the boat on the ground to the right.

Fascinated with the coast since her childhood, growing up in Margate, RNLI12-001 reveals Emin’s connection to her seaside hometown. The RNLI lifeboat, from which the work takes its title, is populated by figures delineated by simple lines. The lively presence of these figures in the work showcases Emin’s respect for this lifeline of the coast.

Tracey Emin, born in 1963, stands as a fearless provocateur in the contemporary art scene. A trailblazer of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the late 1980s, the artist has sparked conversation and controversy for decades. Confronting themes of love, trauma and femininity with great vulnerability, Emin's work is a visceral tapestry of her life and has forged an intimate dialogue between artist and audience. In 1999, this raw approach to storytelling won her a nomination to the Turner Prize and, in 2007, it got her a coveted spot as a Royal Academician at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA).
