Born in Yugoslavia, Abramović's formative years are explored in depth, revealing her partnership with German artist Ulay and the fusion of artistic and private life.
This biography draws on unprecedented access to Abramović's archive, hundreds of hours of interviews conducted by author James Westcott, and his personal observations of the artist. The result is a vivid portrait of Abramović, known as the "grandmother of performance art", who famously lived in a New York gallery for twelve days without eating or speaking.
