A pleasure! I remember seeing it for the first time, coming face to face with it and being struck by its many moving parts, everything its saying in one arresting image. Brilliant.
“how somewhere there is a photograph I was convinced was taken by Emin, of a woman with her legs spread, gathering coins and bills up towards her crotch, and this image has a title that’s about desire or want or something like that but now I wonder if I made this up.” You didn’t make this up. It’s a great photo of her directed by her.
The photos I refer to are from the early 00s, from a performance Emin did and had documented. One is called I’ve Got It All.
This is the work I was thinking of https://www.denverartmuseum.org/en/object/2001.721
Thank you! I’m so glad I hadn’t misremembered this work’s existence

Ahhhh! Thank you! I tried to find it online but couldn’t remember the name. Let me know if you if you run across it?
I’ll do a search. I saw it in a show a while ago.
Thank for reading, Laura
