Marina Abramovic Turned Herself Into Art and Wasn't Sorry. by Fausto Gilberti tells the fascinating story of Marina Abramovic, a world-famous artist known for using her body to perform in unexpected and unusual ways that provoke thought among her audiences.

In one performance, she sat back-to-back with her partner, their hair tied together, for over 17 hours. On another occasion, museum visitors watched her scrub 1,500 cow bones for six hours a day. These are just a few examples of Abramovic's pioneering performance art.

This innovative book provides an inspiring account of this groundbreaking artist, who was also the first female to hold a major solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. It serves as a special celebration for young readers of one of the most important contemporary women artists of our time.

Marina Abramovic Turned Herself Into Art and Wasn't Sorry. features striking black-and-white and red illustrations printed in Pantones, alongside a reproduction of the artist's work. The book also includes a brief biography at the back, bringing Marina Abramovic and her cutting-edge work to life for young readers like never before.

Recommended for ages 4-7.
