London- Tracey Emin, the enfant terrible of British art, organized a major retrospective exhibition and perhaps unsurprisingly he was hit with a warning parental guidance.
Organizers insist that any sub - 16 have to be accompanied by an adult if they want to wander round "Love is what you want," at the Hayward Gallery.
Emin, 47, has called the show "the greatest moment of my art career."
"I'm looking at me the most intimate way", explains Emin of the provocative exhibition, which highlights the themes of love, sexual desire and humour, but also addresses rape and abortion.
It has film of 1996 Emin "How it feels" where she spoke openly of his own experiences following the end of two pregnancies, and what it calls its emotional period of "suicide".
Colored covers decorated with multi-vocal texts hang in the entrance to the Gallery - collages are described by Emin as using the "sacred weavings" clothing and furnishings his family household accessories.
His first words "apple look" in 1965 appear on a cover, another fact in 2002, says: "I do not expect to be a mother, but I expect to die alone."
A creation of neon heart 2001 reads: "You forgot to kiss my soul."
Five rooms were completed work ranging from erotic paintings, secular text, film, sculpture and memories that reveal thoughts and more personal emotions Emin.
"My words are really my unique art," explains Emin in the catalogue of the show.
"When I recreate things again and again, is not because I want to do the same drawing;" It is because I want to work with the same memory "it says Ralph Rugoff, Director of the Hayward Gallery.
The exhibition runs until 29 August
