TOK - Art (RLS)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Bed Tracey Emin's artwork "My Bed" is a widely known controversial artwork. "My Bed" is Tracey's actual bed which is untidy with wrinkled sheets and socks on the mattress. Around the bed is a clutter of personal belongings, such as an empty Vodka bottle, underwear, socks, cigarette packets and various belongings and objects. This bed represented a very depressing and hard phase that Tracey has gone through in the late 1990's. This art is famous, and although it has won zero prizes, it still has a notoriety which was persisted. I believe what made this art so famous because it was unique, it related to Tracey's heartbroken phase, and it is something many could relate to, this is why maybe Tracey's artwork is considered art. Knowledge questions - To what extent should artwork be considered art? To what extent could a person relate to an artwork?
