Tracey Emin's Portfolio

November 14, 2009 by Marion Maneker

New York Magazine has a brief profile of Tracey Emin by Linda Yablonsky. The only noteworthy item this paragraph cataloging the artist’s real estate ambitions:

Today her work carries handsome six-figure price tags and has made her wealthy enough to own not just the townhouse but a three-story, 8,000-square-foot building nearby that she is remaking into a four-story studio complex with a built-in pool. (She claims to swim ten miles a day.) She also has a second home in the south of France and a portfolio of real-estate investments. “I’ve never taken drugs,” she volunteered, comparing herself to friends who put their money up their noses. “I bought property. I’ve even been lucky in this recession,” she added. “I had the best January in sales I’ve ever had.”
