Marina Abramovic
1 recommendation
"Since the beginning of her career in Belgrade during the early 1970s, Marina Abramovic (b. 1946) has pioneered the use of performance as a visual art form.

"It's four separate novellas (i'll call them short stories). In a lot of ways they're off key with kings traditional works. However, three of the stories went on to be adapted as major motion pictures (including Stand by Me)."

I found the work to be equally fragile, playful and powerful. I'm sti..."
The Complete Pirelli Calendars: 1964-2007 ~ Edmondo Berselli, Francesco Negri Arnoldi

"At last the public can see what the fuss was all about. The extraordinary history of the Pirelli calendars began in 1963 when the Pirelli tire company created a calendar featuring pin-up models as a promotional piece to send to its top customers as a gift for the closing year. It has continued to generate publicity for its exclusivity; a huge public clamors for the calendar, but it is only availab..."
