The revelation that artist Tracey Emin is relocating her studio to Margate has been followed by the announcement that one of her artworks is due to go on display in the town.

The 55-year-old's Death Mask piece is set to go on display in her hometown for the first time next year.

It comes as part of the National Portrait Gallery's Coming Home project which will see portraits loaned across the country to places with which they are most associated.

The piece will be at Margate's library at Thanet Gateway Plus in Cecil Street, in partnership with the Turner Contemporary.

Gallery director Victoria Pomery said: "Turner Contemporary is delighted to be a partner in the exciting national project.

"It is a great opportunity for audiences across the UK to experience a range of artworks from the National Portrait Gallery's collection and to consider the importance of home in all our lives.

"Tracey Emin grew up in Margate and much of her practice has been inspired by the town and her experiences here.

"The installation of portrait in Margate library is the first time is has been exhibited outside London since its acquisition and coincides with Emin's decision to relocate her studio to Margate."
