My Bed 1998 became famous when it was shown in the 1999 Turner Prize exhibition, for which Emin was shortlisted. Over fifteen years later, it now returns to Tate Britain where visitors will be able to see it for free My Bed was made in Tracey Emin's Waterloo council flat in 1998. Referred to by the artist as an unconventional and uncompromising self-portrait through objects, it features the artist's own bed covered in stained sheets, discarded condoms, underwear and empty bottles of alcohol. The piece gives a snapshot of the artist's life after a traumatic relationship breakdown and was shortlisted for the 1999 Turner Prize. The Duerckheim Collection acquired the work in early July 2014 and it is now on loan to Tate for 10 years
