TRACEY EMIN opened her new exhibition in front of a star-studded audience at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh last night (Saturday 2nd August).

Guests included a number of influential artists including Sam Taylor Wood and her partner, Jay Jopling, owner of White Cube Gallery where Emin's work is shown, as well as other celebrities including author Ian Rankin and actor Orlando Bloom who all arrived to view Emin's collection before sitting down to a meal in the museum's grounds.

In an entrance not exactly befitting a movie star, Bloom arrived with Emin's aunt in a black taxi towards the end of the show. Wearing a suit jacket and a pair of jeans, he looked relaxed and was jovial with Emin and the gallery staff.

About 100 guests were expected, but the event was a generally low-key affair and attracted very few members of the public.
