We don't know if you remember to read Art Daily on the weekends, but if you don't, you may have missed the interesting juxtaposition of two news stories, one about Pope Benedict's meeting with contemporary artists, at which he encouraged them not to forsake spirituality in their work, and the other about oft-controversial artist Tracey Emin, who just received this year's ACE Award for Art in a Religious Context. Art and Christianity Enquiry for her work "For You," a pink neon sign that resembles handwriting and reads "I felt you and I knew you loved me." Emin created the sculpture for Liverpool Cathedral.
