"This book is illuminating, well illustrated (100 photographs), and extremely thorough. What fuels that dynamism and has shaped its uses and defined its far-reaching impact is the subject of James Westcott's portrait of the artist and account of her work. Rather than contain her art, he opens it up."--Robert Storr, Dean, School of Art, Yale University"This book is a magnificent way to get to know Marina's work. Rather than destroy that mystery, Westcott deepens it. Westcott looks back over the life of this unique artist, and insightfully traces the way her personal experiences are reflected in her art, and how her ever-growing dedication to her art in return changed her life. An invaluable document in the hard-to-document world of performance art."--Bjork. It is also a great read." -- Eliz

This intimate, critical biography chronicles Abramovi's formative and until now undocumented years in Yugoslavia, and tells the story of her partnership with the German artist Ulay--one of the twentieth century's great examples of the fusion of artistic and private life. The result is a unique and vivid portrait of the charismatic self-proclaimed "grandmother of performance art.". When Marina Abramovi Dies draws on Westcott's personal observations of Abramovi, his unprecedented access to her archive, and hundreds of hours of interviews he conducted with the artist and the people closest to her. When Marina Abramovi Dies examines the extraordinary life and death-defying work of one of the most pioneering artists of her generation--and one who is still at the forefront of contemporary art today. In one of many long-durational performances in the renewed solo career that followed, Abramovi famously lived in a New York gallery for twelve days without eating or speaking, nourished only by prolonged eye contact with audience members.
