Two years after Emin unveiled her groundbreaking work, "My Bed," she was back in the bedroom, when photographer Mary McCartney captured her dressed as Frida ...

It features 27 of McCartney's "favorite moments" taken over the past 25 years in Britain. There, a bed was adorned with black and white snapshots of Kahlo's family to convey "a lot more narrative" about her life, said McCartney. Frida was much more in the forefront of her mind. McCartney photographed Emin in bed with her cat on the R7 Leica given to her by her mother, who had died two years earlier. It's a great portrait by Mary." McCartney reached out to Emin to float her idea. Some of her paintings feature bedroom scenes and she was repeatedly photographed in bed. In an interview with CNN, McCartney said she had initially planned for a series of similarly themed shoots.
