The extraordinary life and death-defying work of one of the most
important and pioneering performance artists in contemporary art.
When Marina Abramovic 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. This intimate, critical biography chronicles Abramovic'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. In one of many long-durational performances in the
renewed solo career that followed, Abramovic famously lived in a
New York gallery for twelve days without eating or speaking,
nourished only by prolonged eye contact with audience members. It
was here, in 2002, that author James Westcott first encountered
her, beginning an exceptionally close relation between biographer
and subject. When Marina Abramovic Dies draws on Westcott's
personal observations of Abramovic, his unprecedented access to her
archive, and hundreds of hours of interviews he conducted with the
artist and the people closest to her. The result is a unique and
vivid portrait of the charismatic self-proclaimed "grandmother of
performance art."
