Will the National Galleries of Scotland's Tracey Emin 20th anniversary retrospective prove the hit last year's Warhol show was? The potential is surely there. My colleague Mary Brennan was as smitten by the personality of Emin as I have been when she toured the show in the company of the artist for a BBC Radio Scotland feature to be broadcast this week.
Mary being a woman with a commercial sensibility to her arts criticism, as well as having a fondness for shopping, she later wondered whether the oeuvre of Emin carried with it as many possibilities as the well-stocked shop that accompanied the Warhol. The t-shirts bearing Tracey's signature will surely adorn many a hip chest at the Fringe, but surely other opportunities have been missed. Where are the Tracey Emin brassieres? (Surely she should have here own range of lingerie by now anyway.) And why stop there? What price an Emin bed? Or, for the ultimate in pop festival glamping, a Tracey tent?
