Londen | Jonathan Jones van the Guardian is erg onder de indruk van de tentoonstelling 'Do Not Abandon Me': een samenwerking tussen Tracey Emin en Louise Bourgeois, die vorig jaar overleed.

Bewondering
Hoewel uit de tentoonstelling duidelijk de bewondering van Emin voor Bourgeois spreekt, wordt Emin volgens Jones niet overstemd door de grande dame:
'Seriously. There is something of the visionary artist and poet in her powerful idea of drawing tiny, intimidated figures climbing on, or kneeling before, Bourgeois' bodies.(...) I have never been more convinced of her talent. This collaboration between an artist whose death in 2010 was seen by many as the passing of one of the 20th century's giants, and our Tracey Emin might have been expected to make the Briton look small. (...) But it is a true collaboration and it is Emin who looks like the more authentic artist as she gives these lush images a spine of pain and truth.'
