Sothebys Talks: Munch, with Tracey Emin
This is an episode of Sotheby's Talks, the podcast that celebrates art, culture, and collecting. \nEdvard Munch pioneered Expressionism and embraced life\u2019s most painful experiences to create art: his pursuit of emotional truth changed art forever. Tracey Emin, who has been a major figure in contemporary art for more than 25 years, has always been fascinated by the Norwegian master and, in 2021, she exhibited 25 of her own works alongside Munch\u2019s oils and watercolours at the Royal Academy. In this episode originally recorded at Sotheby\u2019s in London, Emin sat down with Sotheby\u2019s Simon Shaw to talk about the role of women in Munch\u2019s work and to explore why his paintings still have such a compelling hold on us today.\nTo see the works discussed in this episode, or to watch an extended version of this talk, visit https://sothebys.com/en/series/sothebys-talks/breathe-and-feel-suffer-and-love \nTo listen to all twelve episodes of Sotheby\u2019s Talks, featuring guests including Marina Abramovi\u0107, Mary McCartney, Tracey Emin, Paloma Picasso, Julianne Moore, Mary Beard, Celeste, and Helen Fielding, search Sotheby\u2019s Talks wherever you get your podcasts. \nAnd, to step further into the world of Sotheby\u2019s, you can visit any of their galleries around the world; they\u2019re open to the public.
