- Em artigo da Tate Magazine, Melanie Mc Grath lança a seguinte pergunta: “Few artists are subjected to fierce public scrutiny in the british tabloids like Tracey Emin. But is she a great artist?”
- Em artigo da NY ARTS Magazine, Harriet Zinnes afirma: “Tracey Emin, in addition to being prurient (or is she merely exhibiting, ah, a carefree ordinary twenty-first century sexuality), has something to say about feminism, though it may be more narcissism than feminism, and about being a woman, and about being repulsed and angry and forlorn at the traditional shenanigans of the male.”
- Discutindo boemia, em artigo do New Statesman: “This kind of existence has proved unsustainable. One of the characteristics of modern cultural life is its institutionalising tendency: the posts in creative writing at provincial universities, the British Council lecture tours, the state funding for the arts. Judged by one set of values, Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst look like exactly the kind of people who would have stood drinks to Nina Hamnett at the bar of the Wheatsheaf. Judged by another set, they are merely the worst kind of establishment pets.”
- Tracey Emin ao ex-namorado Billy Childish: “Suas pinturas são empacadas, Você é empacado! Empacado! Empacado! Empacado!”; motivou o Stuckism (movimento iniciado em 1999) por Billy Childish e Charles Thomson.
- Na introdução do site Stuckism International, definem o Stuckism como “… a radical art movement founded in London in 1999 to advance new figurative painting with ideas as the most vital artistic means of addressing contemporary issues.” (Acessado em 9/11/2004).
- Billy Childish saiu do grupo em junho de 2001.
