When I asked Schachter about this, he responded simply, “She doesn’t need me for any inspiration.” AMERICA RUNS ON DUNKIN’, THE ART WORLD RUNS ON ADDERALLīootleg versions of the drug have cropped up at bodegas in Soho. Good news, Tracey: Kenny also has a lot of fancy cars that maybe the two of you can prowl around in!īoth Schachter and Emin remained close-lipped about further details on their relationship status, but I have it on good authority that the recent male figures in Emin’s work are inspired by Schachter.

For Emin’s part, dating an art market fixture is also not unfamiliar territory to her either, as she dated Carl Freedman in the 1990s and famously toured the country with him in a Cadillac, once camping out in a tent on the beach that would eventually turn into The Last Thing I Said to You Is Don’t Leave Me Here (1999). This also wouldn’t be the first time Schachter dated a prolific artist-as opposed to the case of Lucas Zwirner, I know for a fact that Schachter dated Elizabeth Peyton. He wouldn’t confirm who it was, but hinted, “It rhymes with lemon.”įor some context, Schachter and his wife Ilona Rich were separated at the time, so there’s no foul play here for those wondering. Towards the end of the call, I asked him about a rumor I had heard regarding who he had recently been dating. I first caught wind that this might be a thing when Schachter gave me a call a few weeks back as we were competing for the same scoop about Calvin Marcus’s defection from David Kordansky (you win this round, Kenny). That’s right, about three years ago-a pandemic romance! how novel!- Tracey Emin, the YBA phenom behind such immortal works as My Bed and Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995 found love in a hopeless place with Artnet News’s own Kenny Schachter. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Kennemin.

I’m delighted to have a new pair to throw into the ring. Gagoyant is an obvious pick, and then there are party-circuit champions Yvonne Force and Leo Villareal, dynamic curatorial duo Cecilia Alemani and Massimiliano Gioni, #couplegoals inspirations Carroll Dunham and Laurie Simmons, and many more.
