Tracey Emin Sues Critic

Tracey Emin is suing critic Hensher. “The feud began in the Independent when Hensher wrote a damning critique of Emin, claiming she was too stupid to be a good conceptual artist. ‘Is it possible to be a good conceptual artist and also very stupid?’ he asked. He doubted it. Emin, he wrote, was a half-witted dullard with no inquiring intelligence. She was, he added, too thick to explore the few interesting concepts she had hit on by chance, and concluded: ‘There’s no hope for Tracey Emin. She’s just no good’.”
