Marina Abramovic Turned Herself Into Art And Wasn't Sorry

The first ever picture-book biography of performance art pioneer Marina Abramović is a world-famous artist who uses her body to perform in unexpected and unusual ways that make an audiences think. She once sat back-toback with her partner and had their hair tied together for over 17 hours. Another time, museum visitors watch her scrub 1,500 cow bones for six hours a day. This innovative book is the latest in Phaidon's best-selling picture-book biographies of artists for young readers – an inspiring story about a pioneering performance artist who is also the first female artist to hold a major solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
