Marina Abramovic: Writings 1960-2014 compiles the artist's colossal archive of handwritten and typed notes, diary entries, poems, accounts of dreams, travel descriptions, letters, performance instructions, stories, concepts and various collections of documents--all of these disparate materials have been collated, catalogued and contextualized for the first time in this publication. Known primarily for her radical performances and for reaching a broad public with her immaterial art during her more than 50-year career, Abramovic (born 1946) offers a vast contextual backdrop for these works in this collection of writings.
