Tracey Emin Questions the Longevity of Male Artists' Creativity
Tracey Emin claims that male artists, including Damien Hirst, tend to lose creative strength after age 40. Both were Turner Prize nominees, with Hirst winning for 'Mother and Child, Divided.' Emin suggests women peak later creatively, citing Louise Bourgeois as an example. She also touches on Hirst's artwork controversies and values the traditions of the British monarchy, sharing her own health journey with Theroux.
