Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963-1995 (installation (visual work); Tracey Emin (English sculptor, painter, and installation art...; 1995, destroyed 2004)
Note: Emin's "Everyone I Have Ever Slept With" is a small blue tent appliquéd with the names of the artist's bedmates, which range from lovers to family members to her unborn child. In 1995, when the work was first shown in the exhibit "Minky Manky" at the South London Gallery, it elevated Emin's fame considerably. This prompted Charles Saatchi to acquire the work for the "Sensation" exhibition in 1997. The work was destroyed in the 2004 Momart warehouse fire, that also claimed other examples of Young British Art.
