Notes

Description
The child of Communist war-hero parents under Tito's regime in postwar Yugoslavia, Marina Abramović was raised with a relentless work ethic. Even as she was beginning to build an international artistic career, she lived at home under her mother's abusive control, strictly obeying a 10 p.m. curfew. But nothing could quell her insatiable curiosity, her desire to connect with people, or her distinctly Balkan sense of humor -- all of which informs her art and her life. Marina's story, by turns moving, epic, and dryly funny, is a vivid and powerful rendering of the unparalleled life of an extraordinary artist--,Adapted from book jacket.
Description
A celebrated performance artist details her life, from her dark childhood in postwar Yugoslavia and her formative relationships to her rise to worldwide fame and her creative efforts to test and overcome the limits of pain and fear to achieve authentic, distinctive expressions.
