Product Description
Review
This book is a magnificent way to get to know Marina's work. To experience not only the better known iconic/monumental side of it but also unite with this the spiritual and the emotional. An invaluable document in the hard-to-document world of performance art." --Björk
"What an amazing journey. I fell in love with Marina the first time we met, when she was driving around in circles for days in a small car in Paris. I still love her and am inspired by her work. This biography reveals Marina in all of her beautiful contradictions." --Laurie Anderson
"I have known and admired Marina for the last thirty years, both as an artist and as a person, and in reading this remarkable book I recognize a clear insight into both aspects of her personality. With great and obvious love tempered by a sense of humor Mr. 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. This book honors the legendary career of a fierce and fearless performer, and at the same time celebrates the warm, generous human being she is and the many myths and fables that have accumulated around her (not a few the result of her own self-deprecating sense of humor)." --Robert Wilson

Review
"[This book] is illuminating, well illustrated (100 photographs), and extremely thorough. It is also a great read." -- Elizabeth Otto, Women's Art Journal -- Elizabeth Otto "Westcott has almost certainly produced what will be considered Abramovic's definitive biography, at least of her first sixty-five years." -- Roberta Mock, Cambridge University Press

Abramovic: Art is Beautiful
25 May 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Amazing book. well written, compelling, well researched and complete. It's an important document to understand the work and legacy of this complex, mysterious artist in context. She is one of the most important living artist we have, unique in her own way.
Amazing

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book to help with a research project on Marina Abramovic for my Art since 1945 history class. Not only was this book very extensive in information but it was also very personal and well written. I don't think I've ever had a biography become one of my favorite books, but this book and the women it is is about is so lovely and moving. Definitely a must read for those who enjoy performance art or simply want to learn more about one of the worlds most controversial and amazing artists.
