"It strikes me that the artist seems able to find worth and inspiration in the same emotional residue that she’s been dealing in for so much of her career. Emin has basically been on the same tip since she was in her twenties. It’s as if her perspective has not changed a bit in thirty years. Though it is satisfying to recognize parts of my own depressed attitudes in her work, Emin also terrifies me, because her sincerity reveals that it doesn’t suddenly get better when you’re middle-aged and famous."
