You know what time it is? It’s “Book I Want, Do Not Have, and Cannot Afford” time!
This week’s edition is Phaidon’s new monograph on the one and only Marina Abramovic. While this one isn’t a million dollars, $49.95 is still a pretty penny to shell out for a book at this juncture in time, and I need my margarita money. Back to the book!
- Marina Abramovic (b.1946) is a pivotal figure whose performance-based works have revolutionized visual art and continue to be embraced by the latest generation of artists, critics and art historians
- Her iconic endurance works have featured prominently in virtually every comprehensive survey of performance art
- With a career that spans more than thirty years, Abramovic continues to produce groundbreaking new work, including the acclaimed seven-day performance Seven Easy Pieces at the Guggenheim in 2005
- As the first book in more than a decade to look at her work in its entirety, this monograph will offer a fresh take on an artist whose work is key to understanding the latest developments in contemporary art.
I can’t handle it. Now I’m depressed. Not really, but a little.
