Tracey Emin Investigated By Porn Squad

by Charlotte Coyote

Controversial artist Tracey Emin is being investigated by Scotland Yard’s Obscene Publication Unit, after complaints were made about two pieces she is displaying as a curator of The Royal Academy of Arts.

The two controversial pieces that Emin is displaying as part of the academy’s summer exhibition are The Old Fashioned Way, by Mat Collishaw, which depicts a zebra having sex with a woman. And there is also a photomontage by Elke Krystu which features a naked woman menstruating in front of a group of toddlers.

If the Obscene Publication Unit decide the works are illegal they will have to be removed or Emin and the Academy would face prosecution.
