Marina Abramovic Turned Herself Into Art and Wasn't Sorry.

The first ever picture-book biography for readers aged 4-7 years of the performance art pioneer – Marina Abramovic

Marina Abramovic 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-to-back 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 tells an inspiring story about the pioneering performance artist who is also the first female artist to hold a major solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

This special celebration for young readers of one of the most important contemporary woman artists of our time features striking black-and-white and red illustrations printed in Pantones throughout, together with a reproduction of the artist's work and a brief biography at the back of the book. In this innovative volume, Marina Abramovic and her cutting-edge work are brought to life for young readers like never before.
