Carol Ann Duffy reimagines Emin’s Stone Love
BLAU is a cultural supplement to the German newspaper, Die WELT, and a stand-alone arts and culture magazine. It is one of the most widely read German magazines of its kind, and regularly features contributions by major German and international writers, authors and photographers.
Out on 25 February 2017, the March issue will feature an image of Tracey Emin’s Stone Love, 2016 – licensed via Artimage – alongside a poem by UK Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy.
The article is part of BLAU’s regular feature ‘Dichter dran’, where contemporary lyricists and poets are invited to contribute a text that is inspired by a specific artwork.
Written in response to Emin's Stone Love, the subject in Duffy’s poem recalls their marriage to ‘a tall, dark, handsome stone’, contrasting the stoic, unchanging nature of this symbolic bridegroom – and marriage – against the passing of time.
Isolde Berger, Photo Editor at BLAU, said: “We were very happy to use DACS, who were able to get in touch with Tracey Emin’s studio for us and provide the image requested. It was very efficient and we would like to thank them for their productive cooperation.”
