Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present is the lavish MoMA catalogue that accompanied the groundbreaking 2010 retrospective of the world’s most famous performance artist. This 224-page hardcover showcases Abramović’s fearless body-based work in over 300 illustrations, many never before published, giving collectors and art lovers a front-row seat to four decades of radical live art.
Measuring an impressive 12.3 x 9.8 inches, the book pairs exhibition views with essays that unpack the spiritual, physical, and political dimensions of her practice. The generous trim size lets full-bleed photographs of iconic pieces like “The Artist Is Present” breathe, while still fitting comfortably on a living-room shelf beside other contemporary art monographs.
This used copy shows only gentle signs of life: light scuffing to the jacket, a small chip on the lower rear edge, and one bumped page corner; inside, the pages are crisp, bright, and unmarked. Tight binding means it opens smoothly for browsing yet stays solid for future readings or study.
An essential addition for followers of performance art, European avant-garde, or MoMA catalogues, this edition carries the ISBN 9780870707476 and is ready to ship smoke-free to your door.
