Marina Abramovic. The Artist is Present

Since the beginning of her career, in Belgrade in the late 1960s, Marina Abramovic´ has been a pioneer of performance art, creating some of the most important works in the field. She has lived and worked in the Netherlands since the early 70´s. This catalogue documents approximately fifty of the artist´s ephemeral time- and media-based works from throughout her career, including re-creations by other performers and a new work performed by the artist for the exhibition. The volume spans more than four decades of Abramovic´s interventions, sound pieces, video works, installations, photographs, and solo performances as well as her collaborative performances with the German artist Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen).
