BBC News - Tracey Emin's neon tribute to Margate sold at auctionA neon sign made by artist Tracey Emin and displayed in a Kent seaside resort has sold at auction for more than double its guide price.
I Never Stopped Loving You, a pink neon text, was installed on the facade of Droit House, a distinctive building on the seafront in Margate.
It was bought by a telephone bidder for just under £59,000 when it went under the hammer in London.
The proceeds will go to the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate.
The artist, who grew up in Margate, created the sign to mark the last year before the £17.4m site is due for completion.
