Tracey Emin to design 2015 BRIT Awards statue
Renowned artist Tracey Emin has been asked to design this year's BRIT Award statue.
Given a blank canvas to work from, Emin's trophy will follow Vivienne Westwood (2011), Sir Peter Blake (2012), Damien Hirst (2013) and Philip Treacy (2014), and will be the fifth artist to design the prize.
Emin said of her involvement:
“I was thrilled to be asked to rework the BRITs trophy. It's so nice as a visual artist to have an involvement with the creative side of the music industry and it's such a sweet celebration of the amazing talent we have in Britain today.”
With BRITs Chairman Max Lousada (Warner Music UK CEO) adding:
“Tracey is one of the UK’s most prominent fine artists and we are delighted that she has agreed to re-work the 2015 BRITs trophy. Having her on board means that we enter a fifth year of iconic and uniquely designed BRIT statues, and with British creativity very much at the heart of the event, it’s fitting that Tracey takes the baton and continues this tradition.”
The 2015 BRIT Awards will take place 25 February and be broadcast live on ITV. More information can be found here.
