Renowned British artist Tracey Emin has said that many male artists, like her contemporary Damien Hirst, “peak in their 40s,” whereas women retain their creative force as they age. Emin was speaking on “The Louis Theroux Podcast” in an episode released Tuesday. She told Theroux that women have more longevity in their careers as artists, pointing to French-American artist Louise Bourgeois, who kept working until she died in her late 90s.
” “I think it’s really hard to be an artist,” Emin said after being asked about her contemporary, Hirst. “I think it’s really difficult. And I think people who don’t make art or don’t attempt to be an artist, don’t understand how difficult it is to have that conviction, that self-belief and everything. Damien was a young artist that started off with a lot of that belief and a lot of that conviction. He was like a force. And now he’s not.” CNN has contacted Hirst’s representatives for comment.
