Tracey Emin, Believe in Extraordinary, 2015
Tracey Emin To Create Limited Edition Print Celebrating Team GB at the First European Games.
The European Games will open June 12th in Baku the capital of Azerbaijan. To celebrate Team GB’s participation at the European Games, Counter Editions has asked Tracey Emin to make a specially commissioned print for The British
Olympic Association.
In her inimitable style, Tracey has created an image which includes one of her best known subjects, a small bird which is depicted on a pomegranate tree branch. The pomegranate, a symbol of unity in Azerbaijani folklore, is also central to the visual identity of the European Games. ‘Believe in Extraordinary’ encapsulates what drives Team GB athletes, how the nation is moved by the power of their achievements and represents a motto to inspire us all to believe that we too can achieve our personal best. The limited edition print is the latest commission in a long tradition of prints celebrating different Games, dating back to 1912, and is part of an iconic body of work including artists such as David Hockney, Andy Warhol and more recently Sir Howard Hodgkin for the Olympic Winter Games in 2013.
